Buffalo Presidential Center

The Buffalo Presidential Center will be hosting a fun, educational, interactive and challenging Jeopardy style trivia contest for children in Grades 3-5. The participants will work together as a team and compete against one of the Buffalo Presidential
Center’s historians.


After registering, all participants will be sent a set of presidential flashcards with fun and interesting facts about all 45 presidents. The children should use these flashcards to prepare for the contest. The questions for the Jeopardy game will come directly from these flashcards. The Buffalo Presidential Center’s historian will NOT have access to the flashcards provided to all student participants.


On the day of the competition, the participants will be given a tour of the museum and work with one of our volunteers to help them prepare for the contest.
Space is limited to the first eight registrations. Participants will be selected on a first come first serve basis. So, please register today!

Welcome to the Buffalo Presidential Center!

Besides Washington, D.C., Buffalo is the city with the most connections to the 45 men who have served as president.

Grover Cleveland (1885-89 and 1893-97) and Millard Fillmore (1850-53) each made their reputations in Buffalo before being elected president. Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train stopped in Buffalo on April 27, 1865. William McKinley was assassinated at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901, and eight days later, his Vice-President, Theodore Roosevelt, took the oath of office at the Wilcox Mansion on Delaware Avenue.

With visits from nearly every president for the past 140 years, Western New York is rich in presidential history. The Buffalo Presidential Center commemorates and celebrates these connections, with an eye toward history.

We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization chartered by New York State to explore and share stories about Western New York’s historic and contemporary contributions to the Presidency and national affairs.

The Buffalo Presidential Center operates a museum on the second floor of the Central Library, open every Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., free of charge. We also travel throughout Western New York, presenting public programs and exhibits. If you’re interested in learning more about our topics, or hosting a speaker for your group, please visit the Speaker’s Bureau tab.

"Buffalo is full of inspiration! Next to Washington, the richest presidential history of any city."

— Brady Carlson, NPR host and author of Dead Presidents: An American Adventure into the Strange Deaths and Surprising Afterlives of our Nation's Leaders
