Return to Rainbow City Tour

Join us for a tour of the Pan-American Exposition Exhibit. The Pan-American Exposition was a world’s fair held in Buffalo between May and November of 1901. The New York State Building, now The Buffalo History Museum, was Pan-Am’s only permanent structure. Found in the museum’s State Court, “Return to the Rainbow City: Buffalo’s Pan-American Exposition,” recounts the story of the fair—its planning, construction, and legacy—and features a variety of Pan-Am artifacts, paintings, and photographs. Learn about the heartwarming and horrific stories behind the scenes, and how triumphs and tragedies brought 8 million people to Buffalo.
