While I was in Fremont, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the grounds of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center. The exhibit, "Enduring Images", just became available to the public recently but I was most fortunate to see many of the images prior to opening. My sister-in-law, Holly Elder, contributed her considerable framing expertise to several (maybe all) of the pieces. Her husband, John, and I made the only contribution we could have to such a learned and distinguished endeavor. We loaded up to the pieces into a van and transported them to the Hayes Center. I am reminded of an often paraphrased Marxist tenet, "From each according to their abilities..." (see note 1)
In addition, The Elder Family celebrated the 50th Wedding Anniversary of Steware & JoAnn Elder of Fremont at the Dillon House adjacent to the Presidential Center grounds which was purchased by the Presidential Center in 1962. The restoration of the Dillon House was wonderful and provided a perfect venue for the celebration.
Not only are the grounds of the Presidential Center very pleasant, but the library itself has several informative exhibits as well as "Enduring Images". It will make a good low-key & pleasant family outing.
