North Canton, Ohio - Vacuum Cleaner Museum North Canton is the home of the Hoover Company, the manufacturer of Hoover vacuum cleaners. The museum is located just east of town in the original home of 'Boss' Hoover, the founder of the company. The house itself in on the National Register of Historical Places. Behind the house is the tannery, which was the business that the Hoovers were in before vacuum cleaners. The main house has on display early manually operated cleaning devices as well as the first Hoover cleaner and Hoover appliances through history. Also on display are items that the company made during WWII. It is free and open to the public six days a week in the afternoon (1-5pm). I worked there for five years as a security guard. You would be surprised how many people stop by to look at vacuum cleaners. [Brian Wood, 07/25/1998][RA: Haven't been back in a long time. Here is our shot of the "Skinner," the first portable cleaning device.]
