The Buffalo History Museum offers an exciting array of programs, exhibits, tours, events and activities for all ages. In the Museum Shop, visitors will be charmed by a wide inventory of unique gifts to select from. Founded in 1862, The Buffalo History Museum has been Western New York’s premier historical organization. Amidst an outdoor Japanese Garden in an Olmsted-designed park, our National Historic Landmark Building is the only remaining structure from 1901 for the Pan American Exposition.  All who visit will marvel at the National Historic Landmark’s classic architecture and stately interiors.
