PRESIDENTIAL DESTINATION ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Buffalo is rife with presidential history. Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States, was from nearby East Aurora. Grover Cleveland, the only man to serve two non-consecutive terms as President, making him the 22nd and 24th President, served as Sheriff of Erie County and Mayor of Buffalo before ascending to the highest office in the land. After the assassination of President McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901, Theodore Roosevelt, then Vice President, took the oath of office at Buffalo’s Wilcox Mansion, now the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. If the election of 2020 has you thinking about the Presidency and the men who have occupied that office, Buffalo is a must-see presidential destination. – E D H E A LY

This place is my jam! I’m a huge music fan and the history that happened here is epic. Back in the day John Coltrane played here. Duke Ellington. Miles Davis. The museum is incredibly well done, but it’s the jams that happen upstairs that make the Colored Musicians Club an awesome experience. Stop by, have a drink and be a part of history.
