Niagara Falls was AWESOME!  We went to Buffalo primarily to visit Niagara Falls.  We were thrilled to find that the Buffalo area is also home of the Roycroft Campus, a handicraft community founded by Elbert Hubbard in the late 1800s which today continues to attract and train artists who produce pottery, furniture, copper ware, iron work and stained glass in the arts and crafts style.  The Campus includes the Copper Shop which sells the best selection of arts and crafts items we've ever seen.  Unfortunately (or fortunately for these two jobless women) most of the items were out of our price range.  We also toured the Darwin Martin House built by Frank Lloyd Wright and one of the best existing examples of his prairie style houses.
