The museum is operated by the Stark County Historical Society. Great mix of history, Presidential artifacts, planetarium,and science department. It also has a great gift shop.Upvote3Downvote- Jon DarveauAugust 6, 2012View from top of stairs affords a nice look of the area. Worth a stop by for the memorial, but the museum is a bit strange for a Presidential library as it features animatronic dinosaursUpvote1Downvote
Steve SoltzNovember 16, 2013Great gem in Canton. The museum is a great place for kids. Think about the $52 family memebership, it's good at 250 museums nationwide, including COSI in Columbus and Natural History in Cleveland.UpvoteDownvote

Canton Stark County Convention & Visitors BureauJuly 14, 2010If you're visiting with kids and they get skittish around Alice (animatronic dinosaur) ask the staff and they can take you "behind the scenes" so you don't have to walk past her.UpvoteDownvote
Beth OdellFebruary 21, 2014I went on President's Day 2014 and was denied admission. The exec. director said this was OK because it is a "private business" and therefore, they can refuse anyone they wish. I kid you not! Read moreUpvoteDownvote
