About Canton

Canton is a northeast Ohio city known nationally for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and locally for its presidential history. The William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum and McKinley National Memorial connect the city to the 25th president, who lived and campaigned here. Canton also has an arts presence through the Canton Museum of Art and a long manufacturing background. It feels like a substantial Rust Belt city: proud, historic, sports-minded, and still working through reinvention.
