Event Time: All Day

Celebrate President William McKinley's birthday at the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum with this fun day filled with activities for the entire family! Admission will be $5 for this special day. All of your favorite McKinley Day activities will be back again this year, including an open hearth cooking demonstration (with samples!), Civil War re-enactors, Spinners & Weavers, special shows in Discover World, and "Meet the President" talks. There will be planetarium shows at 1:00 and 2:00 PM. Our Museum Cafe will again serve lunch from 11:00 AM-1:30 PM. A highlight of the festivities is always the moving Wreath Laying Ceremony, where local veterans and a General representing the White House lay wreaths in memory of the President. As the strains of "Taps" echo in the cold winter air, it is a time to remember the life of Canton's favorite son, William McKinley. The Museum is located at 800 McKinley Monument Dr. NW in Canton.
