  • Guest Speaker Presentation Topics
    2017 Guest Speaker Presentation Topics P a g e | 1 Explore Buffalo Guest Speaker Program COST: $75 Includes a one hour presentation, featuring a 45-minute talk followed by 15 minutes for discussion/Q&A. PLEASE NOTE: Talk availability is subject to the availability of our volunteer docents. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences. Talk Topics Abraham Lincoln in Buffalo & Western New York Buffalo’s presidential history is arguably the country’s most significant, with exception of Washington D.C. We are well aware that Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland were residents and political stalwarts of Buffalo when elected, and that William McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated here in September 1901. But what about Abraham Lincoln? Is there a chapter in Western New York’s presidential book regarding his presence and legacy? This talk will reveal the answers to these questions as it describes Lincoln’s four visits to Buffalo and Western New York. Art’s Up: The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy (BFAA) and its Impact Near and Far The parent organization of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery is the BFAA which was established in 1862 and for over 150 years has been an ambassador for Buffalo — locally, nationally, and globally. In this talk, we will briefly review BFAA’s history, including key events and “firsts” such as being the first major art museum to have a woman director. We’ll focus on a selection of people throughout the years who’ve had significant influence, such as our own “Monuments Men” who helped recover Nazi-looted art during World War II.

The edge of growth in industry, agriculture, and manufacturing from back then, to now bolstering high tech industry and engineering, S both medically and scientifically, which are eminating once again. The edge of one of the five Great Lakes, Lake Erie, and the edge of one of the longest International borders from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Buffalo has ex- perienced its high and lows of any great city over the decades, which suffered economic downturns of industry and development. However, Buffalo is now a city poised on the edge of an already underpinning of a long awated re-birth. From the great prosperous days of the Erie Canal, the Steel and Power Plants taking advantage of the abundance of the flow- ing waters of Lake Erie and the Niagara River, are all significant factors, which helped to propel Buffalo and Western New York to one of the top ten cities at the turn of the 20th Century. This rise brought with its wealth and power, both brokers and philanthropists, which grew with it our world renowned Arts and Entertain- ment Institutions, including the Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Buffalo History Museum, the Buffalo Museum of Science, the Buffalo Zoo, Kleinhans Music Hall - home to our Buffalo Philharmonic - and the achitecural phenomenon - Shea’s Theater.

We couldn’t be happier to welcome you to the Buffalo Niagara region for the 2016 NHL Draft. The Buffalo Sabres, Pegula Sports & Entertainment, First Niagara Center, HARBORCENTER, Niagara Frontier Transit Authority, Buffalo Niagara Sports Commission and Visit Buffalo Niagara have been working in partnership to ensure your stay in Buffalo is safe, exciting and hassle free. Our destination has been completely transformed in recent years, sporting a revitalized waterfront, restored neighborhoods and influx of new attractions, hotels and restaurants. A critical piece of that revitalization is the very spot adjacent to where the NHL Draft is taking place, HARBORCENTER — a $200 million amateur hockey complex with a two-story sports bar, retail shops and a 200-room Marriott Hotel designed to welcome visitors just like you. HARBORCENTER and a series of other new developments have all come online in the last few years, creating a palpable sense of enthusiasm and energy here. I encourage you to get out and explore all we have to offer, from a kayak tour along Canalside and Silo City to our magnificent art museums, enjoying a craft beer at one of our many local breweries, visiting restored architectural gems and relishing over signature chicken wings or a new restaurant.
