The Square was part of the original 1804 design by Joseph Ellicott for Buffalo, then known as the Village of New Amsterdam. Come see and learn about the town square once known as Court House Park that Lafayette Square was and the urban park that it has become. Read about the buildings surrounding the Square and what was there before–each building has its own story to tell.
