Anyone who buys a ticket for a self-guided tour in April will have the opportunity to receive a second tour ticket for free with a food donation.
Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, a historic site in Akron, Ohio, is gearing up to open for the 2025 season. In an effort to support the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank, they are running a promotion where visitors can receive a free self-guided tour ticket by participating in a food drive.
