Click here for an article in today's Repository about our fundraising efforts to purchase Ida's diamond tiara!
We scanned our original of Ida's portrait with the tiara and blew it up on the screen to get a better look at how she wore it. Since the wings are detachable and can be worn separately from the tiara as pins, Ida chose to wear them both on one side of her head for this photo. The feather is not part of the tiara.
If you are interested in helping us raise the $43,000 needed to purchase this tiara and bring it back to Canton, please send a check to:
Ida McKinley Tiara Fund
McKinley Presidential Library & Museum
800 McKinley Monument Dr. NW
Canton OH 44708
If you would prefer to make a donation via credit card, please call 330-455-7043.
It is equally important that we spread the word to as many people as possible! Please share this blog post -- on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else people will see it!
With your help, we will bring this important piece of history to the Museum, where it will be preserved for generations to enjoy.
