delaware park

Many Buffalonians will be on hand later today at Delaware Park as four skydivers descend into the park to commemorate the War of 1812.  The commemoration is set to begin at 5:30 p.m., on the north side of the park.

I thought I was pretty well versed in Buffalo history but there’s an incredible piece of history I never knew about and on Memorial Day there will be a commemoration of a historical site in Delaware Park.  It’s right in the middle of Delaware Park golf course  that’s unmarked except for a small plaque.  Near the plaque is a large boulder and it marks the spot where 300 American soldiers are buried

WYRK Tonights ‘Skivvie Snowball Fight’ kicked off the Flurrious winter festival at Delaware Park to benefit the Olmsted Parks Conservancy. Actually, tonight was just a preview, the real battle is Saturday morning at 9am.
