What To Expect

Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site

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.

This is one of our favorite museums! Family of 4 definitely worth the money. Even our teenagers liked it since there wasn't as much reading, more interactive. Highly recommend this museum if you're in the area or even a nice drive from the falls.

Your review is exactly what we love hearing-especially the fact that the teens enjoyed the visit. Unfortunately, young people have for several decades found history to be uninteresting and irrelevant. When we reinvented the museum's interpretation more than a decade ago, we were purposeful in how we would tell our historic story in an inviting and approachable way-connecting the past to the present. Glad to know it seemed to work with your family. Many thanks! Stanton Hudson Executive Director

We learned a lot about Teddy through the tour and various wall displays throughout the house. We love old houses and the history behind them. So to tour an old house that has ties with a President was wonderful. I think we spent about an hour or so here. There is a small parking lot behind the house. There is an ally way on the right side of the house. You actually look like you are going to an ATM, but right passed the ATM is the parking lot. You can enter through the back of the house. They have a great interactive item at the end of the tour and then you are allowed to stay and read all the displays at your own leisure. Glad we came!

This was such a fun quick experience! We learned so much and the house and furniture was gorgeous. I think it would be a lot of fun with younger kids because there is an interactive feature at the end of the tour. Plus the staff were so nice. Really enjoyed ourselves.
