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. The tour takes place rain or shine (no rain date)\, so dress for the weather. \nPurchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended. \nPurchase Tickets Here

SUMMARY:"Terrakwa: Where Memory\, Place\, and Water Meet" Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the Erie Canal\, not just as something from history\, but as a place that’s alive and changing. The collaborative artists Paul Bartow and Richard Metzgar used interviews\, maps\, and research to show how people and nature interact with the canal today. Their work depicts the canal as a vibrant\, diverse\, and active place. \nTerrakwa shares stories from people who live\, work\, and spend their time along the Erie Canal. These personal stories help us understand the many roles the canal plays as a workplace\, a spot for recreation\, and as a natural habitat. The artists also included unique drawings made by trees along the canal. These drawings were created naturally over time by weather and wind\, showing how nature and humans both shape the environment. \nThis exhibition celebrates the Erie Canal’s Bicentennial (2017–2025)\, highlighting the canal’s importance both in the past and today. Visitors are invited to think about how the canal continues to affect people and the environment\, and how it might change in the future. \nThis exhibit opening is a free event and open to the public.
