McKinley Presidential Library & Museum Canton, Ohio
We Seek the Threads that Connect the Past & Present to Inspire Others in Their Quests…
This is WHY we do what we do
People travel great distances, make great sacrifices, and spend vast amounts of time and money searching for the answers to their questions. People from all over the world visit, call, or write to the Archive with questions about their relatives who lived in Stark County, to find a business that was once here, or to view the vast photograph collection. Everyone has a story, everyone has a question. We can help you…
Follow this Blog, to learn more about the activities that surround Stark County, and President William McKinley’s legacy.
We at the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum gather information and artifacts from our vast collection to help people find their happiness. What does this mean? People come to us with hundreds of questions about William McKinley, Stark County, and the Presidency in general, and they ask us what we have to offer as a museum. They ask these questions because they have a desire to satisfy a curiosity, or have a need to get to the bottom of a question. Whatever their reason for asking they, seem relieved and happy to get their question answered, and get the information they crave.

Hello!
I recently found a poster “FREE WOOL” in New London, Ohio. It was issued by The McKinley League of Philadelphia”. I wondered if it is of any historical/monetary value or perhaps something from your gift shop?
Thank you for any guidance in advance.
Hi Eileen,
Can you follow this link and fill out this Research Request Form? https://mckinleystarkcountyresearch.wordpress.com/submit-research-request/
Is it possible for you to send a picture of the poster? Thank you for your question.

I recently obtained a large mirror that I was told once hung in the McKinley Hotel. I see postcards dated 1910 showing the McKinley Hotel on S. Market Street. Whatever happened to that hotel ?
Thanks
