BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- When you drive by the Buffalo History Museum, you might notice their statue outside, bejeweled, with a friendship bracelet. "I get to combine my love of Taylor Swift with history," said Lauren Kausner, director of public programming at the Buffalo History Museum. They'r e holding "The Eras of Buffalo Tour" to inspire Western New Yorkers to learn about local influential women of the past. During the tour, that's when you can walk through the Buffalo History Museum and learn about each woman, and how her story helped shape Buffalo's history. Some of the women that will be highlighted in the tour include: Evelyn Rumsey Cary, who was a painter and creator of the arts. She's known for her "Spirit of Niagara" painting and her work for women's rights. Eva Bateman Noles, who was the first African American woman to train as a nurse in Buffalo, and first African American nurse hired by Roswell Park, who eventually retired as the director of nursing. Caroline Parker, a Haudenosaunee woman who helped fight for her people to stay on their land. Mary Talbert, who is known for her fight for equal rights for African Americans and women, and was the first woman to receive the NAACP's Spingarn Medal, featured at the museum. Each of the artifacts that the museum holds, help share a story that some Western New Yorkers may not know. "I think we know historically that women have not had a spotlight as much as men, and so I think it's important to know that women have been doing amazing things right alongside men for centuries, and it's good to learn about it," said Kausner. The 'Eras Tour of Buffalo' will take place this Saturday, March 22nd and next Saturday, March 29th. Tickets cost $20 for non-members, $10 for members, and each person gets a friendship bracelet with one of the influential women's names on it--as a way to help remind attendees that these women's legacies stay beautiful. "I think when you find a story about a person that is inspiring and interesting, or maybe you relate to them in some kind of way, it brings history alive in a new way," said Kausner.
