I was the event person for the Genesee Area Genealogists that year and got the Exhibit from the Buffalo Historical Society (museum). It is an on-loan exhibit for free and came with alot of stuff. Videos, slides, artifacts. It was good for teachers as well as organizational meetings and quite interesting. They also have other on loan exhibit kits. It wasn't a problem for me either to pick up the kit and take it to Genesee County, so it wasn't just available for those in Buffalo. I was allowed to keep it for a week before I took it back, so it is possible to co-ordinate with other groups during the same week to make use of it. The main website link for the Buffalo Historical Society is http://intotem.buffnet.net/bechs/ Click on Educational Programs to see the list of their Loan Kits (towards bottom of that page.) They have a great research library too, if you ever get to go there. A lot of local 1901 newspapers on microfilm during the Pan Am made mention of the locals who went there, sometimes with stories of what their experience was, along with general articles of the event itself. -- Cindy Amrhein Town of Alabama Historian in Genesee Co., NY Experience the Town of Alabama in Genesee County, NY. http://www2.pcom.net/cinjod/historian/ APHNYS (Association of Public Historians of New York State) http://www.tier.net/aphnys __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
