Located on Nottingham Court in the city of Buffalo in New York, the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society was built in 1901 for that year’s Pan American Exposition and is the only structure remaining from it. The building is one of Buffalo’s most impressive architectural works, inspired by the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. In fact, it is so remarkable that in 1987 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Visitors of the Buffalo & Erie Count Historical Society will find the largest collection of Pan-American Exposition artifacts in the world. Housed in the building are over 80,000 items ranging from art to motor vehicles to medals. Besides the permanent exhibits at the historical society’s museum including the Native American Gallery and the Street of Shops, temporary exhibitions are also put into place. In 2009, an exhibit was set up to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Buffalo Bills of the NFL.
