Massillon Museum

The Massillon Museum will purchase storage equipment such as cabinets, pallets, and shelving in which to safely house its varied collections and alleviate overcrowding. Highlights of the collection include a collection of glass plate negatives and original photographic prints representing local Ohio Canal history; Medieval Forest, an oil painting by Ralph Albert Blakelock; and an 1864 letter addressed to a Methodist minister of Massillon and signed by President Abraham Lincoln. These shelving units, part of a larger process to overhaul the museum’s entire collections storage, will allow the museum to better protect and share its collections with the community.
