McKinley Museum Field Trip

Today was Zack's field trip to the McKinley Museum in Canton, OH. Myself and Zack's grandpa "Pa" went with him today. The museum tells about the history of former President Wm. McKinley and many other historical things that happened in Ohio, specifically in Canton, OH.

Here are some facts:

**Wm McKinley was 1 of our 8 presidents from Ohio. He was our 25th president.
(The other seven are; William Henry Harrison, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding)
Wm McKinley was a former congressman and Governor of Ohio and then became president. He was well known as the only president to run his campaign from his front porch of his home in Canton, OH, so that he could stay close to his wife Ida as she was not well. People would come to him by rail instead of him going out to campaign.

Some of the other things we got to do was go to Discover World and see the dinosaurs on exhibit. They also had a planetarium that was really interesting. We learned about all the constellations, the sun, moon, mars, and the other planets. How to tell what star is what and find particular stars to know if your heading North, East, etc.

I've included some pictures from our field trip.

This Mastodon was found many years ago in Canton, Ohio! Here's a newspaper article on it. Don't know how well you can read it, but pretty interesting.
