On Saturday, January 27, 2024 the McKinley Museum will host McKinley’s Birthday Celebration. Each year the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum proudly celebrates the anniversary of the President’s birth on the last Saturday of January, a tradition that has been observed for over a century. The wreath laying ceremony will take place at 12:00 PM outdoors, weather permitting. McKinley Day activities will be back again this year, including Civil War reenactors, special shows in Discover World, focus tours in the McKinley Gallery, along with an ode to Presidential Pets like McKinley’s parrot named Washington Post.
From 9 AM – 3 PM, the museum will have family friendly activities related to Presidential pets. Adopt a plush pet, make crafts, participate in story time, see a planetarium show and more! There will also be a coffee tasting with local roasters, Cherry Blend Coffee. The museum is encouraging visitors to donate pet supplies for partnering organizations during the month of January. Donate from now until January 26 and receive $1.00 off admission price (limit one discount per person).
