A presidential learning experience

One of northwest Ohio’s jewels, The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, Ohio, is just a 20-minute drive from the Heidelberg campus, where senior history major Evan Engelhart is interning this semester. A typical day at the Hayes Center for Evan includes shadowing tour guides, collecting five to seven artifacts to highlight on the tours and gathering information for his research at the Hayes Center. “A lot of the tales have been passed from tour guide to tour guide,” Evan said. “My research project aims to make sure the stories are accurate so the guides can give the best tours possible.” Evan noted how much he has learned along the way with his hands-on experiences at the Hayes Center and its tribute to the 19th president of the U.S. Read more about Evan's experience here.
