Who built the McKinley Campaign house that sat where the main branch of the Stark County District Library sits today? Where was it moved? How was the upstairs bathroom remodeled by H. R. Jones? What did Mrs. McKinley’s personal suite look like? Did President McKinley really live in the house?

For almost two years a great group of friends and volunteers of our museum have met in the library every week on Fridays from 10:00 am to noon. We are helping longtime Library Volunteer, Judy Pocock research for an eventual book she is writing with a working title: The Fall of The House of McKinley. Stay tuned for more posts on this very informative, much needed book on a little cottage in Canton, Ohio that had the eyes of the world watching.
