Buffalo Presidential Center Exploring the legacies of Presidents Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland and other Western New Yorkers prominent in national affairs

The mission of the Buffalo Presidential Center is to encourage the study, exploration, interpretation, and public awareness of Buffalo and Western New York's contribution to the presidency and national affairs. Our main focus is on Buffalo's two presidents, Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland, but our interest includes other Western New Yorkers who have shaped our nation as leading participants

in national government, the judiciary, policymaking and public affairs. Through spotlighting this historical legacy, we hope to promote interest in contemporary issues related to the presidency and national affairs.

Have you ever wondered what stories from the White House are passed down among presidential families? Join us on Thursday, August 13th for a fascinating conversation about the role that presidential descendants play "in safeguarding the intimate and often untold stories behind some of the most pivotal moments in American history."

Our speakers will be Tweed Roosevelt and Massee McKinley. Each speaker is not only descended from one of the 45 men who have served as President of the United States, but -- more importantly? -- they are both related to former presidents who have significant connections to Buffalo, NY.

And, they each have fascinating stories to tell . . .

The TR Site is delighted to present this program in partnership with The Buffalo History Museum, Buffalo Presidential Center, and Erie County Historical Commission.
