McKinley Presidential Library & Museum Tours and Activities

The William McKinley Memorial is a Canton, Ohio landmark, and is the final resting place of the 25th U.S. President and his wife Ida. The site also houses the William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum and a large public park.
McKinley was born in Niles, Ohio but began his career in Canton, the city he called home. McKinley was also the 39th Governor of Ohio. On September 6th 1901, six months into his second term as President, McKinley was shot by a Polish American anarchist. He died 8 days later on September 14th. He was succeeded by his vice president Theodore Roosevelt. The monument, which has 108 steps leading up to its doors, is a very popular destination for area fitness fans who jog up and down the steps throughout the day.

7.6/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)

Staff was wonderful. Room was clean but very outdated. All rooms at this location can be pet friendly, and it was obvious some pets had been friends there (looked like the chair had been a surprise scratch post a few times in the past) but as I was traveling with pets this did not bother me. We found old lotto tickets under the mattress. Felt safe in the building and parking lot. Gas station and some fast food very close so great for after a long day of travel. All in all happy with the stay here and would stay again
