The Guaranty Building is one of many architectural treasures in Buffalo.

M Buffalo and Erie County Navy and Military Park

Just north of the Central Wharf is the Buffalo and Erie County Navy and Military Park (1 Naval Park Cove, 716/847-1773, www.buffalonavalpark.org, 10am-5pm daily Apr.-Oct., $10 adults, $6 seniors and children 6-16). This impressive waterfront campus is a living museum to all branches of the U.S. military. Three decommissioned U.S. naval ships dominate the park: a guided missile cruiser, USS Little Rock; a destroyer, USS The Sullivans; and a submarine, USS Croaker. All are open for tours.

Dockside, there is a museum and an outdoor collection of decommissioned tanks, jets, and helicopters that saw action in conflicts from World War II to Vietnam. Some of the displays and educational materials seem dated. Use caution when navigating the bowels of these great ships—stairwells are steep, bulkhead openings are shin-knockers, and there are low clearances.

Plan on at least two hours to tour the ships, museum, and grounds. Chat up some of the volunteer military veteran tour guides stationed throughout the naval park. Their stories bring to life the sacrifices, hardships, and camaraderie of the men and women who joined the armed services.
