I didn't know there was a train layout at the President McKinley Museum in Stark County, Ohio.  Shock [:O]

Neither did I.  That's a big layout.  84 feet in HO guage.  I would like to see that sometime.

Hello All!     I've never heard of a layout at the McKinley Museum either. It is not promoted very well if we didn't know about it before. Next thing you know there will be news of a Grit's Facility in Ohio Duplicated on a Model Railroad.Wink [;)]Clown [:o)] Take Care all.

Having Lived in Stark county for many years now, I was aware of the train layout at the museum.  I was even invited, through a neighbors relative to come "run trains."  Unfortunately the gentleman who extended the invitation has passed on and I had not taken him up on his invitation.  As was mentioned, it is an HO layout and I don't own any HO anymore.  It has been a number of years since we visited the museum layout.
