See original artifacts and hear the stories of the Presidents who began their political careers here; the female candidates for president who have connections to Western New York; the 36 U.S. Presidents who visited before, during or after their presidencies and learn the story behind donkeys and elephants becoming the iconic symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties.
