A Brief Note from Niagara At Large – The classic building the Buffalo History Museum occupies is one of the many architectural gems this proud American city has to offer. If you have never visited it, here is a perfect opportunity. And if you can’t make this event, check out the museum’s website at http://www.bechs.org/ for regular hours to view exhibits and for the many other special events scheduled in the weeks and months ahead.
For more information on the museum and its history, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia.
The Buffalo History Museum (founded as the Buffalo Historical Society and later named the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society) is located at 1 Museum Court (formerly 25 Nottingham Court)[3] in the city of Buffalo, just east of Elmwood Avenue and off of Nottingham Terrace, north of the Scajaquada Expressway, in the northwest corner of Delaware Park. It occupies the building constructed in 1901 as the New York State pavilion for that year’s Pan American Exposition, the sole surviving permanent structure from the exposition. As planned, the Buffalo Historical Society moved into the building after the exposition.
