In honor of , here's a 1907 photo of Frances Wilcox and her dog. (Frances was the daughter of Ansley & Mary Grace Wilcox.) Although the Wilcox family is documented to have had several dogs over the years, the name of this particular pup has been lost to history.

It's at the TR Site! As part of our new exhibit, we were inspired by Made By Us to install a Wish Wall marking America's 250th birthday.

We're asking our visitors to respond to any of these questions: (1) What's your wish for America? (2) How are you commemorating America's 250? and/or (3) What would you put into a time capsule for future generations to find?

Here are just a few answers from our visitors. Please feel free to leave YOUR answer(s) in the comment section.

ICYMI, our new exhibit -- 12 DAYS IN BUFFALO -- takes a closer at the days leading up to TR's 1901 inauguration & provides answers to visitors' most-asked questions. It includes dramatic period photos & rarely-seen artifacts. 12 DAYS will be open through early October & is included with regular admission. It can be paired with a guided tour of the historic home, or viewed as a stand-alone experience.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Buffalo History Museum last night for "Presidential Descendants in Conversation." It was a great crowd with great questions. We particularly appreciate the unique perspectives shared by our special guests, Tweed Roosevelt and Massee McKinley. In addition to offering fascinating insights, both championed civics education and active participation in government. (As TR himself might say, "Bully!")

Sincere thanks also go to our partners, who made the event possible: The Buffalo History Museum, Buffalo Presidential Center, the NYS America250 Commission, and Erie County Historical Commission
