Just a 20 minute drive from Niagara Falls!

That's right, Buffalo is very close to one of the world's greatest natural wonders! In the spirit of outdoorsman and conservationist Theodore Roosevelt, make a side trip to visit this majestic waterfall at the Niagara Falls State Park.  As a member of the New York State Assembly in the 1880s, Theodore Roosevelt was a member of the Niagara Falls Association, an organization dedicated to promoting public and legislative support for a state park protecting Niagara Falls.
