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.

No matter what you choose, you're sure to feel the excitement and optimism of a country on the forefront of innovation.

Theodore Roosevelt was sworn into office at this nice house seated in downtown Buffalo. I didn't plan this visit and just missed a tour. After talking with the great staff, They let me do a preview of the house seeing the displays in the entrance and the main rooms on first floor which was interesting. I saw the room he got inaugurated in and Ansley Wilcox's desk where Roosevelt wrote his first official proclamation as President of the United States. I would call ahead if you want the full experience since the guided tour is about an hour long and leaves at certain intervals. I got a pass from my library for National Parks in NYS and this site is considered one of them. The place has a nice gift shop too. A must for history buffs, esp those that love politics.
