Teddy Roosevelt Inauguration House from some Missouri tourists - After looking around the Exposition Hall, our guide took us through the rest of the house. It was a fascinating, historical tour that brought real significance to the McKinnley assassination and Teddy Roosevelt inauguration. We recommend this stop to anyone who visits Buffalo.

What an absolutely wonderful National Park Site! - What an absolutely wonderful National Park Site! There is so much information in just one house. One can learn about the Buffalo World's Fair, the death of President McKinley, the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt to replace McKinley and TR's career as president. There is also some interesting interactive stations in the house. Our guide was really helpful; she gave a great explanation of everything.
