The TR Site will play multiple roles on Saturday and Sunday, including being an early voting station for Erie County's Primary Election, held on Tuesday, June 24.
The site will hold a handful of events for people to take in as well. These will include chalk art on the site's driveway on Sunday and a special exhibit showcasing winning works from middle and high school students from the Buffalo News' Editorial Cartoon Contest.
Those who attend can also meet representatives from some of the site's other partners like the Buffalo Presidential Center and the Buffalo Choral Arts Society.
'Together, we will continue to provide access to premier civics programming and education at Buffalo and Western New York's only National Park Site,' said Spencer Morgan, the site's executive director. He also said the site is grateful to Delaware North for the partnership supporting this weekend's free admission.
