This office is not only open to the sober & still suffering alcoholic in the area, but hosts it's annual Founder's Day
Celebration (around June 10th) in memory of Dr. Bob's last drink. With Akron, Ohio being the birthplace of AA, it is
appropriate that this office also include archives. It's extensive timeline & exhibits on the early history of AA
provide a true educational experience.
Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens - Akron, OH
www.stanhywet.org
Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens was the principle site for taping our history segment. Not only did it offer a beautiful
backdrop for the shoot, but it also was the site of one of the most significant events in modern history. Located on
its 70-acre historic estate is the "Gate Lodge," the small Tudor Revival cottage where Dr. Bob Smith & Bill Wilson,
founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, were first introduced by Henrietta Seiberling. This meeting led to the development of
the 12-step recovery process made famous by AA.
As the former home of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company co-founder F.A. Seiberling & his family, Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens
is an AAM-accredited museum & a National Historic Landmark in Akron, Ohio. The estate features guided tours of the
65-room Tudor Revival mansion filled with treasures from around the globe as well as tours of the nationally
significant gardens & grounds.
