Spring is officially here in Buffalo! Time to make some warm weather plans and get excited to explore all of the amazing attractions our region has to offer.

As we thaw out from our winter hibernation and start looking towards sunshine-filled days, now is the perfect time to visit a few of Western New York’s most iconic landmarks. (Especially if they’ve been on your WNY bucket list for ages!) 

That’s why the folks at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House & Graycliff have put together this immersive experience, which will be offered monthly beginning April 22.
