My Great Great Grandfather built a scale model of McKinley's funeral train. I had always wanted to take my family to go see it. Living in Georgia now, it's not quite that easy. Last summer we planned a trip making this one of our priority stops. We checked the schedule to make sure we'd make it on time. Driving in from Niagara Falls in a terrible thunderstorm, we pulled in about 10-15 minutes before the final self guided tour time. Walk to the entrance and it's closed. We knock, try to call, etc. Walk over to the library on the other side of the courtyard. The librarian was very helpful trying to get a hold of the curator. I go out, walk around the building to the back, and knock on the door. The curator answers. I say we're here to see the train, that it's part of my family history and I'd like to show my kids. She says "no". I ask if we can, just for a moment. She again says "no" and that we should come back tomorrow. I told her that we were travelling through and wouldn't be in the area tomorrow. She just refused. Remember, this happened when the museum was supposed to be open. I feel sick that part of my family heritage is under the care of this person. read more

My husband and I ran out of time to make it to the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum before it closed…read morefor the afternoon, so we went here instead. We're car people, but I had no clue whatsoever about Packards or their history in Warren. My dad graduated from Niles High School, and I felt like I was learning about his and my grandpa's experience through the historical exhibits. To be sure, Packard moved from Warren to Detroit after a few years. Nevertheless, the museum did a great job of communicating what made Packard a distinctive automobile brand. The car displays were artistic and appealing. My husband especially loved the poster that listed all the inventions and technology that Packard came up with, including the modern steering wheel, air-conditioning, and a bunch of nuanced engineering stuff.

Great experience. Very personal attention by the docent. The cars were great. I only wish they…read morehad more on the packard engines. I also would like more open hoods. Not a criticism though. A great 2 hour visit.

When I was finally admitted their camera angle made the presentation SIDEWAYS. I called AGAIN to tell them to turn their camera. The audio was so bad I couldn't understand the presenter and they were so far away from him I couldn't see his slides. This was the most unprofessional operation I've ever experienced. It was awful. I eventually just logged off. After contacting the President of the Museum to request a full refund, I've heard nothing from them. Their customer service is awful and I would not recommend patronizing this museum.

A Beaux-Arts style building with Greek and Roman themes memorializing President Wm McKinley on the site of the school where he started his education. The marble statue of McKinley stands in the center, surrounded by busts of the influential of the period. One side of the building houses the Niles Public Library, and the other side is a small museum and auditorium. A passionate museum docent met me at the locked door and recited an amazing amount of McKinley history. I mean she really was good. The museum displays were a little sparse, but I was impressed with a hand painted flag as well as a carved wooden book cover from China that contained a letter to President McKinley embroidered on silk. Major donors to the memorial are recognized by busts in the auditorium and the library. Notable names include Andrew Carnegie, who contributed to the library, and Joseph Butler, the founder of the Butler Institute of American Art, the first museum of American art. You never know what you might learn when you stop to investigate.

However, my kids wanted to go and my 8-year old was able to get his own library card of which he was excited to get. Off we go, me and my three boys, we walk to the library. Yes, it is very, very close to my house. Once inside, I can tell a lot has changed for the better since my last visit many years ago. They have many computers to use for locating books or perusing the Internet. They have a fantastic kids room where they can read their reading level books, build puzzles, color, etc. They have several kid sized tables, chairs and bean bags for them to sit and enjoy whatever activity they are doing. Very neat and fun for the kids. I enjoyed watching my oldest son as he insisted in finding the books he wanted by himself. When he had trouble, he asked the assistants at the circulation desk instead of me because-he wanted to do it all by himself. So proud of my little guy. While he perused for books, my two younger boys played with puzzles and colored in the various coloring books. They each chose a book as well to bring home to read. This library is a great place to spend some time and great for the kids to have and keep an interest in reading. They also may kids reading programs throughout the year and having Story Time for the little ones once a week. We had a great time. An hour and half and 8-books checked out later, we were on our way home. It was a lot of fun.

Prices for admission vary based on the time of day and the age of the customer. My husband and I bought tickets in person for a movie on a Monday afternoon. When we were at the entrance, a courteous employee in the back noticed us and asked us to walk toward the concession stand to buy tickets. On a computer screen, we selected our seats. The total price for two adults was $23. The concession stand offered typical snacks and drinks. Another courteous employee sold us candies and drinks. Another employee took our tickets. He kindly told us that the theater was being cleaned and that we could wait for a few minutes until it was ready. He told us where the bathrooms were located if we needed them. (Since the previous reviews were written, I am sure that this movie theater has hired some new employees.) In the theater, the leather reclining seats were spacious and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed watching the movie. Please note that this movie theater follows the township code and has a curfew policy: People who are under the age of 18 are not admitted after 4 PM on Fridays and Saturdays or if a movie will end after 11:30 PM--unless they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Yes, you will find some little worms in some of the apples. - We just cut them away. Yep, they are ugly apples! do you know why? That's right... they are not coated with all the chemicals that your "pretty" apples are. Blue Jay Orchards' apples have a great taste to them. Yes, you will pay a little more than you would in store. Yes, you will probably need to cut some of the apples up to remove the little worms. But I find their apples are superior to what you will get in the store. We are happy such a wonderful farm is available for us.

That means the farmers walk the orchard and remove bugs by hand! They use different plants to ward off bugs and pests. There's so much strategy involved. We stayed at the cottage and loved it.

Super friendly staff, immaculately clean, VERY comfortable seats and the best popcorn in town…read more I do wish they'd cut back to just three trailers before the start of the movie, though. But it's still less of an annoyance than what you experience at a Cinemark, Regal or other corporate multiplex where the film traditionally starts anywhere from 25-35 minutes after the listed "start time." It would be even better if Austintown Cinema was (A) closer to my Boardman home; and (B) they offered the type of "Unlimited Pass" Regal offers.
