Questions & Answers

What’s the pricing?

Autumn Aronica | Jun 20, 2022
James Santos | Jun 20, 2022

At this time, it’s pay as you wish (works more as a donations) and you can purchase tickets online.

Can you walk-in? What is the admission price?

I got this from the website: The Museum is offering Pay What You Wish admission with reservation on Eventbrite.

Today is July 20th 2021.. I would like to plan a visit next week. None of the comments or posts from the museum are dated. Is the construction going on now, and ifso how much of the exhibit areas are closed off?

Anna Treat | Sep 18, 2021
Jessica Myers | Sep 18, 2021

We were there this past weekend, construction is still happening. The good thing is that the ticket price is "donation" so while you won't get to see everything, you're not paying full price if you don't want to.

I am looking for burial location or death Certificate for a relative who fought in the Canadian Rebellion in 1838. I think he may have died on what was called Navy Island near Buffalo. Can you help me or lead me in the right direction?

Katherine Thomas | Sep 18, 2021
Eric Mohammed | Sep 18, 2021

The history museum has a library with records but covid currently has it closed I believe...if this relative is buried in Buffalo, I'd try Forest Lawn database on their website and see what you get, hope this helps

Best to call them this is not their immediate location I have donated postcards also but for Keeps and they did go into their archives I've met the archivist and she seems to be very good person I don't know about loans but they do have a phone number so call the Buffalo Museum and ask for the curator
