Riley. He served in the U.S. Army for 40 years from the War of 1812 through the Mexican War and culminated with his serving as the last military governor of California during the famous “California Gold Rush”.  In the early 1840s\, Riley was commanding officer of the Buffalo Barracks\, an army post located on what is now the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site. The experience of Riley during his time here and his interactions with notable Buffalonians convinced him to return here after his military service was finished. \nGeneral Riley’s life and career\, including his time here in Buffalo\, will be discussed by local historian Thomas F. Schobert. He is the author of “Hush the Cannon’s Roar – The Life and Times of Bennet Riley: Defender of Buffalo” \nDoors open at 5:30pm \nProgram: 6pm-8pm \nThere will be a book signing at the end. Copies of the book will be available to purchase from the Museum’s Gift Shop. \nTickets are $12 (Free for Members): Purchase Tickets Here URL:https://buffalohistory.org/event/happy-hour-history-the-life-and-times-of-bennet-riley/ LOCATION:The Buffalo History Museum\, 1 Museum Court\, Buffalo\, NY\, 14216\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://buffalohistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/250604_HappyHourHistory_ThomasSchobert_web.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250607T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250607T120000 DTSTAMP:20250903T213918 CREATED:20250418T143814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250418T154552Z UID:38221-1749292200-1749297600@buffalohistory.org SUMMARY:Pan-Am Walking Tour DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy a tour of the ground where the Pan-American Exposition took place over 100 years ago.  Buffalo\, which in 1901 was the 8th largest city in the United States\, hosted over 8 million people from around the world.  Learn about the exhibits\, the shows\, the sounds and smells that could be experienced while visiting the fair.  Start at the Buffalo History Museum\, which is the only structure from the exposition that is still standing\, and walk along streets of Buffalo where stadiums\, buildings\, fountains\, and waterways once gave visitors strange\, exotic and dramatic entertainment. \nThe tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours.  The cost is $20 ($10 for members) and includes a souvenir map guide.  The tour begins at The Buffalo History Museum at 10:30 AM.
