Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village is an educational institution, chartered by the State of New York, whose mission is to preserve and interpret the story of Buffalo Niagara for the people of today and the community of tomorrow.
We achieve our mission through historical research and interpretation, preservation and management of our collections and historic buildings, and creative activities and events.
