The Pan American Exposition opened in Buffalo, NY on May 1, 1901.
“All the triumphs of the spirit and of the skilled hands of labor, the garnered treasures of science, the witcheries of art, the spoils of earth and air and sea are gathered here to warn, to delight, to encourage and reward the ever-striving, the indomitable mind of man.”-
State John M. Hay, June 14, 1901 in Buffalo, NYLearn more about the Pan American Exposition at
