EDITOR’S NOTE: This is part of a weekly series marking the 120th anniversary of Niles native William McKinley’s U.S. presidency.
Even though this column doesn’t follow the 120-year timeline, the Tribune Chronicle and writers of this column felt it was very important to recognize McKinley once more for his service in the Civil War.
The McKinley Memorial completed its “A Living History of the Civil War” program with an encampment and exhibits with re-enactors this past weekend at the museum. Gerald Payn of Wooster portrayed President Abraham Lincoln and Youngstown State University Professor Dr. Amy L. Fluker provided insight into the locals who participated in the Civil War. Musician Scott Ball also performed music from the Civil War and displayed sheet music from that era.
