Yesterday's Canton: Historical Oral Tours

Downtown Canton, OH
Established 1805

Welcome to Yesterday's Canton

Yesterday's Canton offers free, independent walking tours based in downtown Canton, Ohio. The oral tours highlight buildings and businesses which have historical relevance today, including: the Palace Theatre, the Onesto Hotel, the United Methodist Church of the Savior, Bender's Restaurant, and more. Each tour features architectural details, information on past and current owners, and the building's history. Additionally, creative sound bites and music enhance the audio experience and put listeners straight into the story. Visit the building pages for selected interior photos, including a photo of Hotel Onesto's large antique barber chair.

To listen, download the oral tour onto your private MP3 player and take a hike! OR listen online by visiting each building's page (listed on the left menu).
