National First Ladies is creating the First Ladies Experience, a new flagship building in downtown Canton, Ohio. Planned beside the historic Saxton-McKinley House and adjoining First Ladies Park, it will expand our campus at the First Ladies National Historic Site with immersive exhibits and educational experiences exploring how America’s First Ladies have shaped our nation.

Our capital campaign will bring this vision to life, preserving their stories and inspiring generations to come.
