Buffalo hosted the Pan-American Exposition from May to November 1901, a world's fair meant to showcase trade and ideas across the Western Hemisphere. The city was then a major grain-milling and lake-shipping port at the eastern end of the Erie Canal, and its industries and rail connections made it a natural host. The fair's Electric Tower was lit by power generated at Niagara Falls, a point visitors and local boosters were proud of. In September, President William McKinley was shot at the fair's Temple of Music and died eight days later, an event that left the exposition in mourning for its final weeks.
