Buffalo History Museum
The only permanent building left from the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. It presents Buffalo's urban history, from canal port to industrial city.
The museum is housed in a Greek Doric marble building, the only permanent structure left from the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. It sits on the lakeshore of Delaware Park. The exhibitions cover the Erie Canal, the Pan-American Exposition and McKinley's assassination, the Larkin Company, local businesses and daily life. There is also a gallery displaying old Buffalo street scenes. Behind the museum is the Japanese Garden, which is especially beautiful when the cherry blossoms bloom in spring. Tickets are required, and it is usually closed on Mondays.
