My wife and I visited the Theodore Roosevelt National Historic Site, known locally as the Wilcox Mansion. We had never been there despite her parents having had their wedding reception there back in 1947. As others have said, this was the site of Teddy Roosevelt's inauguration after the assassination of President William McKinley during the Pan American Exposition in 1901. This isn't a huge museum, but rather a picture of a time long ago that had historical significance to the area and the country.There are hour long tours given throughout the day. You get a chance to learn a little bit about the Pan American Exposition, the events leading up to the assassination and then the inauguration. We had a knowledgeable guide and found the tour and house interesting. You get a tour of the mansion, a couple short films about the exposition and about Teddy Roosevelt, and then there are some interactive displays. I thought it was interesting as an adult and I think it would be good for school age children as well. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children and they do have family passes. Free parking is available in a lot behind the mansion. There is also a gift shop for those who want souvenirs.

I felt like we weren't told that we'd have to wait 30 minutes to go on a guided tour when we bought tickets. Then we waited and saw one room, then were seated to watch a 15 minute movie, then saw another room and that was it.

Wonderful attraction, the most amazing displays, interactive.GREAT tour guide!! To think that history actually happened right there! Great parking ,great bathroom and coat hall. Small but very nice gift shop. $10 gets you a tour and plenty of time to spend on your own. Super clean through out, exhibits have a timely connection to issues of today. Some reproductions but many historical accurate pieces form actual home or time period.

The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historical Site is a nice Historical building, and as in the name, where Past President Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated. This is a nice place when visiting Buffalo you are going to want to see.

This place is wonderful. I think it is easily the best attraction in Buffalo, especially if you like history. We went here and to the Manuscript Museum just up the street for my birthday, and it was great.

I had some free time in Buffalo and stopped by the Theodore Roosevelt National Historic Site. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and extremely enjoyable to listen to. Its not a major historical site, but they have a lot of good information and if you have some free time its not a bad way to spend an hour or so.

This recently updated historic site is so much more than a home where an inauguration took place. The home stays true to its time in decor and feeling but the rooms and hallways have taken on new life in lively display about America in 1901 -- history, culture, manners, events all so well portrayed.

This building, across from our hotel, housed the place that Teddy Roosevelt was inaugurated after the murder of President McKinley. It had an excellent combination of tour guide, exhibits and interactive videos. There was no problem lingering. It was wonderful interpretation of the times and challanges President Roosevelt faced. It was $10 well worth it($7 for seniors and students)

We had dinner during the holidays at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site and it was delightful (they do not ordinarily serve meals). We had visited before and know that this is a first class historical site run by excellent people, including many volunteers. It is worthy of at least a half day visit. It also has a lovely gift shop---not the usual tourist fare.

The museum is small but very well kept. Actually, this is the house of Mr Wilcox (his friend). The presentation (which includes, pictures, sounds and movies) is really very informative and, in some way, you'll be transported back in time to 1901. Only U$S 10 p/ adultAfter that, if you have a couple of more hours, take Delaware Ave to the port (just 5 minutes driving) and visit the Naval Museum. Don't miss it (I'll write a review about it)
