Step into the compelling history of Humboldt Parkway, once one of Buffalo NY’s most beautiful and celebrated public landscapes. Designed as part of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux’s visionary park and parkway system, this grand, tree-lined, two-mile long boulevard connected Delaware Park with Humboldt Park, now Martin Luther King Jr. Park, while providing East Side residents with a scenic place for walking, gathering, nature, and community life.
In this one-hour lecture, discover how Humboldt Parkway shaped Buffalo’s identity, why it became the chosen route for the Kensington Expressway, and how its destruction transformed surrounding neighborhoods through displacement, division, environmental harm, and the loss of a treasured space.
