| Memorial plaque on the site where McKinley was shot |
President McKinley was shot in Buffalo in this day in 1901, 115 years ago. Through a series of missteps in his care, the popular president succumbed to infection from his wounds . Attending the Pan-American Exposition, the president, who had been stalked by anarchist Leon Czolgosz, was approached and assassinated. The location of the attack was the Exposition's Temple of Music, now marked by a simple stone in the middle Fordham Street. This former Pan-Am location is lined with lovely bungalow -style homes dating back to the neighborhood's development in the years after the fair.
