Canton Classic Car Museum was established by the late Marshall Belden Sr. in 1978.The museum currently exhibits forty-five rare and unusual classic and special interest automobiles. The gorgeous vehicles are complemented by the thousands of pieces of historical memorabilia displayed throughout the museum. Visitors are amazed to find a “world class” museum only 20 min away from the Professional Football H.O.F. located in downtown Canton which makes it a “must see” stop when coming to celebrate the latest induction into the H.O.F. Of course any trip to Northeast must include a stop at the Rock and Roll H.O.F. which is only an hour away.
