The mission of the McKinley Birthplace Home is to help visitors of all ages understand and connect to President William McKinley's childhood, his family's life in Niles, and the influence of his early years on his political career. To this end:

  • We maintain and display a collection of items related to McKinley's childhood, his family's life in Niles, and his political career.
  • We provide information in the form of tours, displays, programs, and a research library.
  • We engage in promotion and outreach to ensure that our information is accessible to the widest possible audience.
  • We strive to protect objects that have been committed to our care through appropriate storage, display, and handling.
