First Ladies National Historic Site
Fri to Sun: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Two historic buildings in Canton, Ohio now stand as a tribute to the nation's First Ladies. At only around 10,000 visitors a year, this humble site is hugely underrated—which is a shame. Where else can you take your hat off to the women who've supported our presidents over generations?
If you're stopping by, keep in mind the whole place can be viewed in a single afternoon. Start at the City National Bank Building, a
seven-story structure built in 1895. It's home to the National First Ladies Library and a small museum highlighting the accomplishments of these important women. Don't miss the gift shop on the second floor.
Despite the building's size, the sparse museum only takes about 45 minutes to explore. This is also ground zero for guided tours led by in-costume volunteers. You might want to make reservations in

During the tour, you have the chance to walk through First Lady Ida Saxton McKinley's home. The impressive Victorian house was built in 1841 and later restored to its former beauty (Don't forget your camera.) The interior holds some of the McKinleys' furnishings and artifacts.
After your tour, check out other nearby Canton attractions. The historic Canton Palace Theatre, Canton Classic Car Museum, and downtown arts district are all worth a trip.
This site may be small, but you're sure to come away with a new appreciation for the First Ladies that helped support our nation.
