Learn about the facsinating history or Buffalo's Hamilin Park neighborhood.

Designated in 1999 as an "Historic District," Hamlin Park is a large triangle of a neighborhood located in the heart of Buffalo. The district is bounded by Jefferson Avenue in the west, Main in the north, Humboldt Parkway in the east, and Ferry in the south. The area is named after Victorian horse racing aficionado Cicero Hamlin.

Our speakers, Estherphine Green and Michael Puma will cover the impact of Cicero Hamlin’s changing times on the community he owned, the land as well as the buildings that followed through the Negro migration to the cold spring in the 1950’s and the destruction of Olmsted’s Humboldt Parkway.
