In September 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Monuments Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will spotlight one of the nearly 50,000 National Monuments or Memorials across the United States. In addition, we’ll feature a wide range of other tributes—from statues honoring heroes and athletes to memorials recognizing outstanding citizens and many other categories. Today the post is on the monument in Canton OH dedicated to WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
Canton, Ohio is home to numerous busts displayed inside the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame. The city also takes pride in being the final resting place of William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. The McKinley National Memorial, a grand circular mausoleum, features a large bronze statue set on a pedestal at its front entrance.
William McKinley served as president from March 1897 until his death on September 14, 1901. He was shot in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901, by Leon Czolgosz, and passed away nine days later. Czolgosz was swiftly tried, convicted, and executed on October 29, 1901.
Here is a photo of the McKinley Memorial.

September 28-William McKinley
The concept of the William McKinley Memorial began almost immediately after his death. In 1905 construction began and work was completed by September 1907. The 9.5-foot bronze statue of McKinley was done by Charles Henry Niehaus
