When future First Lady Ida Saxton was born in her Canton home in 1847, the world was a very different place. Her large home was without indoor plumbing, electricity, and many of the modern conveniences we rely on today. In this fun and interactive program, young visitors will (virtually) look inside the historic home and compare their lives to a young girl in the 1800s!
