On this episode of Applause we’re on location in Akron, at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, the former home of Gertrude and F.A. Seiberling, founder of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Coming up we’ll learn about Akron’s first power couple and their global shopping spree to furnish Stan Hywet with treasures from around the world.
Plus we’ll find out about plans for Stan Hywet’s Centennial celebration.
And you’ll find out about the current outdoor exhibition at Stan Hywet that’s adding a bit of “sparkle” to the 10 gardens on the estate.
And in our ongoing series Beyond the Dish, we get a lesson in "fine" dining at the table where the Seiberlings used to entertain.
