MASSILLON, OH. - 'A RUN FROM OLD CENTRAL'
USE CC FOR 'DETAILS' OF THE VIDEO...........
A 'run' from old central station to the Massillon State Hospital on S. Erie. The white Disaster Unit is a 1949 Chevy; No. 1 pump a 1941 Seagrave 750; and the aerial a 1941 / 65 ft. Seagrave. The DU was not used for transport, basically a EMT 'responce' vehicle. It 'shared' the W. bay of the station with a 1953 Dodge-Power Wagon.
Notice all the bright, flashing, blinding 'strobe' warning lights on the apparatus...WOW!
This station was replaced in 1970, and the building demolished to build the City Hall.
Seen in the film are;
1 - Capt. Harold Zimmer (in the watch office) & 'getting into' the pumper
2 - Joseph Stevens driving the Disaster Unit
3 - Fireman Virgil Edie driving the aerial

Sugar Bowl Interviews 1989 part II
Former Museum Director John Klassen interviews employees at the Sugar Bowl before it closed its doors in 1989. The Sugar Bowl opened in 1902 and for more than 80 years it operated in downtown Massillon. Many items and artifacts went to auction after the store closed. The Massillon Museum acquired photographs of employees, candy baskets, chocolate molds, and menus, all stored today in the permanent collection and archives.

Faces of Rural America: Henry Clay Fleming and Ravenswood, West Virginia
With assistance from the Institute of Museum and Library services, the Massillon Museum was able to assemble the project we have dubbed Faces of Rural America. Initially, the project impetus was to exhibit and record the efforts of two American photographers, neither of which has a direct connection to Massillon. Yet, both Henry Clay Fleming and Belle Johnson have fascinated and delighted Museum staff and visitors for years. We are proud to be the caretaker of their photographs, which are inherently American in their subject matter. While most of the images require the viewer use his or her imagination to create a narrative for the subjects, one cannot help but identify with the faces in the photographs.
The exhibition features 100 photographs: 50 by Henry Clay Fleming and 50 by Belle Johnson. Both floors of the Massillon Museum are dedicated to this project, and corresponding educational offerings are available in the form of an activity book, workshops, classes, and lectures throughout the summer and early fall. The exhibition will be on view from June 11 -- October 9, 2011 at the Massillon Museum. Admission to the Museum and exhibition are free.

Coxey's Army
A 1994 documentary by the Massillon Museum that tells the tale of Jacob Coxey's march on Washington DC in 1894 (the first in history!)
Jacob Coxey was riding home one day and experienced the poor conditions of the road in the 1890s. He also saw many unemployed men walking the streets looking for work. He had the idea to put unemployed men to work towards problems like fixing roads. He took this idea and made the Good Roads Bill in 1892. He presented it to Congress, but that's as far as it went. He teamed up with Carl Browne.
To raise awareness and support for the bills, Browne and Coxey organized a march of unemployed men from Massillon, Ohio to Washington, D.C., which left on Easter Sunday, March 25, 1894. Named the Army of the Commonweal or Coxey's Army marched on foot across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
As the Army approached the Capitol building they had grown to 4,000 people, where they met 12,000 more marchers at the capitol. As they prepared to speak to the crowd, Coxey, Browne and the third leader Christopher Columbus Jones were arrested for trampling the Capitol lawn. Washington DC had never dealt with protesters, and felt threatened.
Jacob Coxey would not get the opportunity to give his speech on the steps of the Capitol until 1944, 50 years after his original march on Washington.
He died in 1951 at the age of 97.
