Third Thursday: Spirit of Community

Join us for a special evening at the historic Saxton-McKinley House as we explore the powerful connection between local families and national history, with complimentary wine & cheese provided.

This month’s Third Thursday program highlights the Barber family – relatives of Ida McKinley, First Lady and wife of President William McKinley – and their role in Canton’s civic life.

Guests will also have the opportunity to view unique artifacts from the Spanish–American War, providing a fascinating glimpse into the era and its impact on the local community, all while enjoying wine & cheese!
