Description

Who was Ida Saxton McKinley? What did she do as first lady and why?

You can think about these questions and more as a knowledgeable volunteer or park ranger guides you through the former home of Ida and William McKinley. Through learning the story of this former first lady, you'll be able to understand the difficult and public position of first ladies.
