Jacob Snyder was one of the many influential architects and builders to leave a lasting impact on design throughout the rapid industrialization and unprecedented expansion of the nineteenth century, though his name is lesser known. His design work was developed through a lifetime of passion, education, and collaboration with local partners. The Hower House Museum is just one of many of his designs that remain standing in Ohio and beyond. Explore the lasting impacts of Jacob Snyder’s life and works in the exhibition Architecturally Speaking: The Lasting Influence of Jacob Snyder – Revisited.

Tours are from Noon-3 p.m. with the last tour starting at 2 p.m. Please enter at the front door.
