Combining Passion and Professionalism
Historic sites are being lost every day. The Massillon Heritage Foundation strives to preserve and restore sites of historical significance to Massillon and the surrounding area. The Foundation currently holds the deed to Five Oaks, a Massillon Victorian mansion built in 1894. Preserving it is our main focus and a costly one. The picture to the right shows President William McKinley and his wife, Ida, at the wedding of Edna McClymonds to Arvine Wales at Five Oaks on October 25, 1900. The wedding party and the President were seated in the billiard room which was adorned with hundreds of flowers. Five Oaks is on the National Register of Historic Places.
