I'm a member and volunteer at this Site! It is one of the best culturals in WNY! Recommend visiting to take the tour (top-notch!) Right now it is still decorated for Victorian Christmas, so this is an added incentive to visit this month (December).
Well educated volunteers fill in details about Buffalo as major world city in 1901, and Teddy Roosevelt as progressive president. Interactive exhibits add to the appeal of this special place definitely worth a visit in Buffalo, NY.
A great stop for US history lovers, young and old with great interactive stops, audio and video stories and expertly guided tour. TR was indeed one of the best presidents this country has ever had!
Gorgeous house, with an amazing staff and tour guides. The tour is given with a "time travel" twist that proves very entertaining.
This is an interesting site tucked in the bowels of Buffalo. Free parking is behind the visitor center. Teddy Roosevelt is such an interesting personality. The tour of the house was interesting and ended with a high tech hands on multi room display.
My kids could've spent all day hereand it was the day they were open until 8pmand my kids are all under 12. Enough said! Very interactive diaplays upstairs and down. Lots of kids books. Interesting for kids and adults alike. Ample parking. Clean restrooms. Junior Ranger Program. A great rainy day activity. Or any day! Gift shop. Nice rangers. Please go see this gem of a park!
This is an amazing National Historic Site - the home had been beautifully redone with period furniture and has great interactive displays about the the life and times of Teddy Roosevelt. The tour is very family friendly (not too long or too dry) and makes use of a lot of multi-media displays.
I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome this was! I think the price is a little steep. There is a small museum and then a tour. I thought the tour would be a typical boring tour of an old house, but no! This tour was augmented with innovative videos and audio. At the end you can explore the second floor on your own with interactive exhibits. The kids liked playing with the toys from 1901 and I sat at TR's presidential desk. I highly recommend for adults and kids! As a side note, the kids did an activity that earned them a Junior Ranger badge.
The TR Inagural Site is steeped with rich history and provides an amazing insight to the challenges faced by our nation at the time of President McKinley's assassination. Packed with artifacts, multimedia and interactive presentations, a visitor will learn about the social and political challenges of the era, the Pan American Expo, and the transition of presidential power. Plan to spend a few hours here. The docents give an excellent tour, and kids can enjoy the Junior Ranger exercises.
On top of being a historic place with a really cool museum, the first Tuesday of every month they do a coloring night with wine!
Great history! Guided tour with self guided time after. Worth a visit when your in the area.
Very informative small museum about an unusual event in American history. Well worth the $10 for the tour. Expect to spend 45 minutes here.
I thought this was a well put together little museum. They had some really great interactive exhibits and the tire guide was very knowledgeable.
