McKinley Presidential Library & Museum to Host Signature Event
Timeless Connections: “Our Story – 80 Years in the Making"
Canton, Ohio… The McKinley Presidential Library & Museum will host its annual signature event Timeless Connections on September 24 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. This year’s theme, “Our Story – 80 Years in the Making,” celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Stark County Historical Society, the organization behind the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum. Tickets are $65 for members and $70 for non-members. A special $80 anniversary ticket includes a free custom-made, limited-edition, numbered military challenge-style commemorative coin featuring the McKinley National Memorial. Sponsorship packages are also available.
“This is not your average fundraiser,” said Executive Director Kim Kenney. “For eight decades, we have preserved and shared the history, science, and stories that connect our community, creating memories and experiences that continue to inspire generations. This year’s theme reminds us that our story is your story. For more than 80+ years, the Monument and Museum have been woven into the lives of families, students, visitors, volunteers, and community members throughout Stark County and beyond. The memories made here are part of a shared community story that continues to grow with each generation.”
For one night only, guests will enjoy behind-the-scenes access to rarely seen artifacts and photographs, immersive exhibits, and interactive experiences throughout the Museum that celebrate the people, milestones, and memories that have shaped the Museum over the past 80 years—and the future still to come.
The evening will feature live music, heavy appetizers, and specialty samples from local favorites, including Dishes by Design, That Little Italian Kitchen, and Cherry Blend Coffee Roasters—plus more delicious offerings throughout the evening.
Tickets are available online at qrco.de/bgqBKQ or by calling the Museum’s front office at 330-455-7043 during regular business hours.
All proceeds support the Museum’s mission to create connections for all audiences through science, history, and the legacy of William McKinley.
