First Ladies National Historic Site
First Ladies National Historic Site

First Ladies National Historic Site is a United States National Historic Site located in Canton, Ohio. During her residency in Washington, D.C. Mary Regula, wife of Ohio congressman Ralph Regula, spoke regularly about the nation's first ladies. Recognizing the paucity of research materials available she created a board to raise funds and for a historian to assemble a comprehensive bibliography on American first ladies. From these inspirations came a National First Ladies’ Library, established in 1996, and the First Ladies National Historic Site. The site was established in 2000 to commemorate all the United States first ladies and comprises two buildings: the Ida Saxton McKinley Historic Home and the Education & Research Center. The act that established this site was at the 106th congress meeting at the second session. The act to establish this site was bundled under other laws and is known as an omnibus. The purpose of the site is to inform the public about the influences that the First ladies of the United had on the public and to the president. To teach the public about their contributions and to not be remembered as just the wives of the President of the United States. Tours start at the Education & Research Center, located one block north of the Saxton McKinley house on Market Avenue. The 1895 building, formerly the City National Bank Building, was given to the National First Ladies’ Library in 1997. The first floor features a theater, a large exhibit and meeting space and a small library room with a collection of books that replicates First Lady Abigail Fillmore's collection for the first White House Library. The center's second floor is home to the main National First Ladies' Library. Other floors contain conference rooms, storage and office space. The Ida Saxton McKinley Historic Home preserves the home of Ida McKinley, the wife of U.S. president William McKinley. The brick Victorian house, built in 1841 and modified in 1865, is furnished in the style of the Victorian era. Costumed docents provide tours, and exhibits focus on President and Mrs. McKinley, photos of first ladies, and Victorian decorations. Admission to the First Ladies National Historic Site, which is free, includes the exhibits in the Education & Research Center, and for a nominal fee, a guided tour of the Ida Saxton McKinley Historic Home is available. The site is operated by the National First Ladies' Library in a partnership agreement with the National Park Service and managed by Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Bender's Restaurant
Bender's Restaurant

Bender's Restaurant is a historic restaurant and commercial building in downtown Canton, Ohio, United States. Constructed in 1899 and expanded soon afterward by connecting two adjacent buildings, it remains in use as a restaurant, and it has been named a historic site. Canton's biggest years of growth occurred around the turn of the twentieth century, and Guy Tilden was the city's leading architect of the period.: 2  In the 1890s and early 1900s, Tilden favored the Romanesque Revival style, but Bender's represents a transition in his thinking away from revivalism and toward simpler, newer modes of construction.: 7  He was responsible for the original Bender's building, constructed in 1899 as the Belmont Buffet,: 4  although the present structure is significantly larger than the original building as purchased by the Benders firm in 1908. Soon after obtaining the Belmont, Benders bought two buildings next door, and before long the restaurant had displaced the former occupants, a livery and barbershop.: 8  No significant changes have been performed since 1908. By 1918, Bender's reputation had grown to the point that the Automobile Blue Book was promoting it as a destination for out-of-state road travellers.Two stories tall, Bender's is built of brick on a foundation of sandstone, while the buildings added in 1908 are constructed of ashlar and brick.: 8  Bender's facade is divided into three bays; much of the exterior features stained glass in place of ordinary display windows, and comparatively little ornamentation is otherwise present.: 4  Inside, large amounts of wooden panelling are present, and other original elements are also present, including the separate women's entrance, the marble wainscoting, the coffered ceilings with visible structural elements, tiled floors, and a group of murals produced by a travelling German painter.: 4 In 1987, Bender's was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It was part of a multiple property submission of five Guy Tilden-designed properties in Canton, all of which were added to the Register together; the Harry E. Fife House and the Weber Dental Manufacturing Company are likewise still on the Register, although the Hotel Courtland and the Case Mansion have since been removed.

Crossroads United Methodist Church
Crossroads United Methodist Church

Crossroads United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in Canton, Ohio. Originally the First Methodist Episcopal Church, it was renamed Church of the Savior United Methodist in 1968. Then in 2014, after its congregation was merged with Saint Paul's United Methodist Church, it was renamed Crossroads United Methodist Church. It was built in 1881 in a High Victorian Gothic style. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. William McKinley, 25th President of the United States, was an active member of the church. He served as a Trustee and Sunday School superintendent. His funeral was held here September 19, 1901. Thomas Edison recorded video of McKinley's funeral including the body leaving the church. The service was attended by the new President Theodore Roosevelt and a large delegation of Senate and House members and U.S. Supreme Court justices. The Congressional party filled the entire east section of the pews and the rear half of the two central sections. Generals and admirals in full dress uniform served as the honor guard and occupied the first pew on either side of the center aisle. President Roosevelt and the Cabinet - dressed in black, including black gloves - sat in the second pew of the east side of the center aisle. The fourth pew from the front, which had always been reserved for President McKinley, was draped in black and remained vacant. The Sunday school area and the balcony were filled by citizens and representatives of organizations. This included the Twenty-Third Ohio Regiment, which brought tattered battle flags they carried during the Civil War. After a procession through the city, McKinley's body was brought to the church as of Beethoven's Grand Funeral March was played on organ. The service began at 2 p.m. with a quartet singing "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and then a prayer and invocation by Rev. O.B. Milligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church where the McKinleys had been married. Other pastors offering prayers were Dr. John A. Hall of Trinity Lutheran Church and Rev. E. P. Herburck. The 24-minute eulogy was given by Rev. C.E. Manchester. He said in part: "Our President is dead. The silver cord is loosed, the golden bow is broken, the pitcher is broken at the fountain, the wheel broken at the cistern.....We can hardly believe it. We had hoped and prayed, and it seemed that our hopes were to be realized and our prayers answered, when the emotion of joy was changed to one of grave apprehension. Still we waited, for we said, 'It may be that God will be gracious and merciful unto us.' It seemed to be us that it must be His will to spare the life of one so well beloved and so much needed. Thus , alternating between hope and fear, the weary hours passed on. Then came the tidings of defeated sciences, of the failure of love and prayer to hold its object to the earth. We seemed to hear the faintly muttered words, "good-by, all; good-bye. It's God's will. His will be done,' and then "Nearer, My God, to Thee.' Bishop I.W. Joyce of Minneapolis offered another prayer and the then the audience joined in singing of the hymn that McKinley had spoken on his deathbed "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Father Valtman, Chaplain for the Twenty-ninth Infantry, offered a final benediction before the coffin was taken up as the church organ played and borne from the church for the procession to West Lawn Cemetery. The body was led by the military guard in a double line from the entrance to the hearse. President Roosevelt and the Cabinet followed arm in arm followed by McKinley's relatives.
