Various of people inside McKinley museum STORYLINE: If you've been intrigued by President Donald Trump's praise of his long ago White House predecessor William McKinley and yearn to know more, it's time you head to Ohio. The 25th U.S. president was born and is buried in the Buckeye State, where museums and monuments to him abound. Websites promoting the state's McKinley attractions have seen a surge in pageviews since Trump began highlighting his gilded age presidency, which ran from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. Officials hope a bump in summer tourism will follow. “I don’t think there has been as much interest in William McKinley in at least a century, in terms of kind of the public consciousness,” said Kevin Kern, an associate professor of history at the University of Akron. The last time was in 1928, when his face was printed on the $500 bill. =========================================================== Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
