Event Details

Step back in time to 1870, when William Hoover founded a small leather-goods company in New Berlin, Ohio (now North Canton).  Learn how that company grew and eventually expanded their product offerings in 1908 to include a new concept in floorcare…an electric suction sweeper!  Soon, that product would come to be recognized around the world and would forever shape the history of North Canton
