For 18 years, I lived in Delaware County just a few miles from the county seat, Delaware, Ohio.
Delaware's most favorite son became a President of the United States. In one of our most odd elections, Rutherford B. Hayes was selected by Congress to be the President after losing the popular vote by almost 300,000 ballots.
All that memorializes President Hayes boyhood home is the marker in the photo sitting in front of a BP gasoline station on East William Street just east of the main downtown intersection in Delaware.
After growing up, Hayes spent most of his adult time at his Speigal Grove home in Fremont, Ohio not far from Lake Erie.
The monument is located in downtown Delaware, Ohio on East William Street (US Route 36) just east of Sandusky Street.
