We asked Brian Trzeciak, executive director at the Buffalo Maritime Center, “What’s the importance of community investment in history and heritage, especially given the region’s location?”
The Buffalo Maritime Center is made up of Buffalo Maritime History Museum, who’s mission is to bring to life the compelling story of Buffalo’s maritime history from the Erie Canal to the boats that filled our waterways, the boat shop, which houses community and personal boat building projects while also holding educational programs, and the Buffalo Maritime Foundry, which was originally established to meet the needs of boat restoration and student boat building projects. Brian states that the Buffalo Maritime Center Campus is “entirely necessary for this sacred spot of the Erie Canal, Lake Erie and the Great Lakes.”
