Canton Museums Working Together

Five museums in Canton are working to attract more visitors by banking on the popularity of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and creating a new marketing campaign. Their plan is to have a trolley take locals and tourists along a 4.5-mile loop with stops at all five museums and offer them discounted rates. The museums are the Canton Classic Car Museum, First Ladies' National Library, McKinley Presidential Library and Museum, the Hall of Fame, and Canton Museum of Art. The museums have formed a partnership and are working together on creating the Canton Loop, along with a slogan telling visitors to "Do the Loop." Within 10 years, they hope to attract 150 thousand more tourists annually.
