**Membership Software Updates**
We’re making improvements during our off-season, including switching to new ticketing & membership software, so at this time, we will not be able to process membership payments via debit/credit cards.

  • If you would like to renew now, we can accept a check, made out to “Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens” and mail to:

  • If you prefer to wait and pay by debit/credit card, we will notify you via email when our new software is able to process online payments.

If you have any questions please feel free to email us at membership@stanhywet.org or call (330) 315-3205.

Self-guided tours resume on April 1, 2025 and are included in membership.
