Spiegel Grove, also known as Spiegel Grove State Park, Rutherford B. Hayes House, Rutherford B. Hayes Summer Home and Rutherford B. Hayes State Memorial is an historic site that was the estate of Civil War general and nineteenth President of the United States Rutherford B Hayes. It is located at 1337 Hayes Avenue in Fremont, Ohio. "Spiegel" is the German word for "mirror". The traditional story is that the estate was named by Sardis Birchard, an uncle of Rutherford B. Hayes, for the reflective pools of water that collected on the property after a rain shower. The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center is also located here.

President Hayes and his wife Lucy Webb Hayes are buried at a memorial on the property. Hayes died in 1893 and was buried in Riverwood Cemetery next to his wife who had died in 1889 . Following the gift of this home to the state of Ohio for the Spiegel Grove State Park, their bodies were reinterred at Spiegel Grove in 1915.

A war horse which belonged to Captain Russell Hastings, named Old Whitey, which became the mascot of the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, is buried at Spiegel Grove with a grave marker reading "Old Whitey A Hero of Nineteen Battles 1861-1865".Hoogenboom, Ari. "Rutherford B. Hayes: Warrior and President". Lawerence, Kansas: University Press of Kansas, 1995, pg 173.]

The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on January 29, 1964.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000624.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: "Spiegel Grove," The Rutherford B.
