On January 19th, the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum will host it's first Museum Record Day!

Each person will have the opportunity to sign the Museum's "Official Record Book" after sliding down the pole. The same event will be held again in 2027 to try to break the record set in 2026! Other activities include free activity sheets, planetarium shows, and MORE!!
