The Buffalo Historical Society
The incredible depth of history in Buffalo, New York is really astounding when you visit the history museum and look at old photographs of the city, such as the ones seen at https://www.facebook.com/damien.failla on his newly renamed site now called Buffalore. 115 years ago this week, as we posted yesterday, the Pan Am Exposition was in full swing, despite President McKinley's state after the assasination attempt. The Historical Society building which still stands, was one of the actual facades, not the plaster ones that were destroyed after the Expo to make way for affordable housing. Not only can we see artifacts from the Expo if you wander through during the last Food Truck Rodeo, you get to walk where others did 115 years ago, during probably the most important time in Buffalo's history, except for right now.
