Highlights in Buffalo include manuscripts from Bizet’s “Carmen”, Wagner’s “Wedding March”, and George Cooper’s “Sweet Genevieve” lyrics.

Her “manager” stole her barrel (which she had specially designed and had made for her), and found a much younger woman to pretend to be her; they toured the country and got rich. No one knew or cared that the young woman wasn’t Annie.

She died in poverty at age 82.

It looks like they bred a cow and a corgi with that chonky body and tiny legs!

A cowgi?

Sad that sites have to compete for preservation support; each place on the list deserves help, but I voted for your Marconi towers since you brought this to Bluesky. Good luck from a history fan in the US!

Also, I knew a bit of the story of Sacagawea but the museum did a good job of including her throughout the narrative. I didn’t realize she gave birth to her son while on the journey. Or that she was kidnapped from her home out west years before the expedition. I’d love to learn more about her!

Beautiful building!

Can I be added? Thanks!

Yesssssss!

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing to highlight this important work.
