There is something for everyone in Buffalo. Companions are encouraged to consider participating in this Congress and taking advantage of exploring Western New York and this unique city. Buffalo was front and center at many of the most pivotal moments of the 19th and 20th centuries. Its history is surprising and rich, replete with countless historic sites and museum-worthy stories. Battles were waged here as the War of 1812 played out at Old Fort Niagara. Fortunes were made, jazz legends jammed and American presidents lived, died, governed and are interred there.

The Hyatt Regency Buffalo Concierge is pleased to assist Companions with excursions to local attractions that are not included in the Naval Order’s Schedule of Events. Click here for Tour suggestions.
