The History Club Visits Buffalo Museums
Students learning how to use the desk to veto or approve legislation
Eleven members of St. Bonaventure’s History Club visited two Buffalo Museums on March 16. Students spent several hours at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site Museum, exploring the location where the twenty sixth president was inaugurated following the assassination of President McKinley. They enjoyed exploring the home and engaging with the displays and artifacts discussing the Pan-American Exposition, Roosevelt’s inauguration, and the issues he faced after unexpectedly taking office. This included viewing historical stereographs through a stereoscope that turns a pair of separate images into a single three-dimensional image (see images below). Some students (and even Dr. Henning) took turns sitting behind TR’s desk to veto or approve legislation (above). The Club rounded out their day by visiting the Buffalo Harbor Museum and learning about the creation of the Erie Channel and other components of Buffalo’s Maritime History.
