The Buffalo Presidential Center greatly appreciates the ongoing support of the Erie County Legislature and County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
Our Mission
The mission of The Buffalo Presidential Center is to encouragze the study, exploration, interpretation and public awareness of Buffalo and Western New York's contribution to the Presidency and national affairs. Our main focus is on Buffalo's two presidents, Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland, but our interest includes other Western New Yorkers who have shaped our nation as leading participants in national government, the judiciary, policymaking, and public affairs.
Through spotlighting this historical legacy, we hope to promote interest in contemporary issues related to the Presidency and national affairs.
Our Vision
Continuing to illuminate Buffalo’s connection to our presidential history and to share that heritage with the world.
