Canton — The Pro Football Hall of Fame & McKinley's City

An easy hour south of Cleveland, Canton punches far above its size in American cultural history. This is the birthplace of the National Football League, founded in a Hupmobile auto showroom here in 1920, and the enshrinement home of the sport's greatest names at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It is also the adopted city of William McKinley, the twenty-fifth president, who ran his famous front-porch campaign from a Canton home and is entombed here beneath a soaring granite dome. A single day threads football's national shrine, McKinley's monument and museum, and the National First Ladies' Historic Site — the only site in the country devoted to the women of the White House — with a hearty Canton lunch in between.
