 McKinley Presidential Library & Museum Presents Soup at Six: "McKinley's New Creases"

Canton, Ohio... Brian Centrone, guest curator of Massillon Museum's exhibition "Gilding Northeast Ohio," will present his brand new program "McKinley's New Creases" at the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum on August 8 at 6:00 PM. The program is part of the Museum's Soup at Six lecture series.


This program will explore the social, cultural, and political attitudes towards the adoption of the men’s trousers crease in the late 19th century. In particular, Centrone will discuss how President McKinley’s adoption of the style shifted fashion allegiance from the Prince of Wales to the US President, signaling the rise of America as the new global super power.


The cost is $25 per person and includes soup, bread, dessert, a beverage and the program. Pre-paid reservations are required and can be made by calling 330-455-7043 or visiting the Events tab on the Museum’s website at www.McKinleyMuseum.org. The reservation deadline is August 6.
