University Express Presentation by Doug Kohler
The Pan-American Exposition was intended to showcase Buffalo's prominence in 1901. Planners expected over 20 million visitors to come to the Pan-Am, but instead, the fair is largely remembered for the assassination of President McKinley. Join Erie County Historian Douglas Kohler for a look at Buffalo's world's fair as we commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Pan-American Exposition.
