Buffalo attractions
Buffalo attractions are not for those seeking a mini-Manhattan. Although once a thriving and wealthy city of industrialists, Buffalo today has come into its new and more working class trappings. But the most popular attractions here give glimpses of the prosperity that once was. One of our favorites is Graycliff, a home built for an industrialist by Frank Lloyd Wright. The design, setting and views are stunning. Another great historic spot is the Theodore Roosevelt National Historic Sight, the mansion and library where Roosevelt was sworn in after McKinley's assassination. Or, take the family to the Toy Town Museum, and see and play with some historical Fisher Price toys. Or for you car buffs, checkout the Pierce-Arrow car museum to see the one-time automobiles of presidents and kings. And, our favorite of all attractions here, check out the fantastic Allbright-Knox Art Gallery. Grandeur that was and can now be glimpsed is waiting for you at Buffalo attractions.
