Event Details
October 4, 2022, will mark the bicentennial birthdate of Delaware’s own Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States. Only 45 communities in the country can claim that someone born in their town went on to become President. To commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, the R.B. Hayes Heritage Committee is planning a day-long celebration.
Formed in 2018, the R.B. Hayes Heritage Committee’s mission is to bring appropriate recognition to and educate the community about Delaware’s native son, Rutherford B. Hayes. With the help of a generous community, the committee has already erected a 7’ bronze statue and interpretive panel with a timeline of Hayes’ life in the plaza at the corner of William and Sandusky Streets. At Hayes High School, a granite pedestal holding a bronze bust of Hayes now sits in the front entrance rotunda. Additionally, an upgraded memorial sign with improved landscaping marks the site of Hayes’ birth at 17 East William Street in Delaware.
