News Release�Fourth
Street in the Fall Margy Vogt will lead the season�s final
public walking tour of Massillon�s historic
Fourth Street on Sunday, September 9, at 1:00 p.m. The tour of historic and
architectural highlights in the town�s most
beautiful old neighborhood takes about
two hours along the tree-lined brick street. The houses on Fourth Street, which
span a century of architectural examples (1830s to 1930s), were home to
Massillon�s
entrepreneurs and bankers, to prominent Massillonians who hosted President
McKinley, and to humanitarians who harbored fugitive slaves. Participants will
learn about the Five Oaks mansion and the �Lillian Gish house.� The tour is open to everyone and reservations are
not necessary. The $7 fee may be paid at the beginning of the tour, which
begins at the corner of Fourth Street and North Avenue, N.E. (in front of Five
Oaks). In case of rain, the walk will be cancelled. Call 330-832-8469 for more
information. Copies of Vogt�s books, Fourth Street: A Century of History and Design
and Massillon: Reflections of a Community, will be available at the end of the
walk.
