Step back in time and into the world that Theodore Roosevelt knew, through a powerful, immersive experience of sight, sound and interaction. Walk where he walked, see and hear the challenges he faced, and get a sense of what it was like to lead our nation during such a pivotal time in its history. It's the dawn of a new century. Millions are traveling to Buffalo, NY, to join in the celebration of the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. Perhaps you'll try your hand at the Captains of Industry game, and see if you have what it takes to command an early 20th century business. Or maybe you'll crank the handle of the kinetoscope to watch a period film clip. No matter what you choose, you're sure to feel the excitement and optimism of a country on the forefront of innovation. Following a guided tour, you have the opportunity to learn from the past on your own and see how history is relevant in your life by considering the challenges and opportunities presented by the same issues today.

Small but interesting museum. The interactive displays are informative and the house where the inauguration was held after President McKinley’s assignation in 1901. The mansion is beautiful. It is a good lesson in the democratic views of Roosevelt’s that would - should - echo today.

I’m glad we went, but I would have liked more depth about Theodore Roosevelt’s career prior to becoming president and how he ended up being vice-president. The information seemed superficial and didn’t add much to my knowledge of Theodore Roosevelt. I would have like to have known why McKinley was assasinated It was very much a snapshot in time with little detail on either side.

The docent information, video productions and interactive activities in this beautiful, meticulously maintained home brought the inauguration to life.
