The Buffalo History Museum founded as the Buffalo Historical Society, and later named the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society) is located at 1 Museum Court (formerly 25 Nottingham Court)[3] in Buffalo, New York, just east of Elmwood Avenue and off of Nottingham Terrace, north of the Scajaquada Expressway, in the northwest corner of Delaware Park. It occupies the building constructed in 1901 as the New York State pavilion for that year's Pan American Exposition, the sole surviving permanent structure from the exposition. As planned, the Buffalo Historical Society moved into the building after the exposition.
Designed by Buffalo architect George Cary (1859�1945), its south portico is meant to evoke the Parthenon, in Athens.In 1987, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.[2][4]
Founded in 1862, the Buffalo Historical Society's first president was Millard Fillmore. Its exhibits, programs, and events are a magnet for schoolchildren, families, and students.[5] It has hosted observances of Lincoln's Birthday for over a century. In 1960, the Society changed its name to the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, and in October 2012 it became The Buffalo History Museum.
From 1879 to 1947, the Society published pioneering scholarship on the people, events, and history of the Niagara Frontier. Many of those volumes are now online in full text.[6]
