The Pan-American Exposition was a world's fair held in Buffalo, New York, from May 1 through November 2, 1901. The fair occupied 350 acres (0.55 mi2) of land on the western edge of what is now Delaware Park, extending from Delaware Avenue to Elmwood Avenue and northward to Great Arrow Avenue. It is remembered today primarily for being the location of the shooting of United States president William McKinley at the Temple of Music on September 6, 1901. The exposition was illuminated at night. Thomas A. Edison, Inc. filmed it during the day and a pan of it at night.
