This Day in Western New York History
On August 31, 1901, Irish athletic competitions were taking place at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo.
The Pan-Am brought visitors, athletes and exhibits from around the world to Western New York, turning Buffalo into an international destination for the summer of 1901.
More than 125 years later, it is still one of the biggest events ever held in Buffalo.
