Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village (BNHV) is the former Amherst Museum located at 3755 Tonawanda Creek Road in Amherst, New York. In 2016, the Amherst Town Board designated BNHV as the Amherst Historical Society. This designation makes BNHV the official repository for the Town of Amherst’s historical archives, photographs, and artifacts. This designation also means that BNHV is the resource for all Amherst-focused research and historical education. With that comes a huge responsibility for the organization to act as a center for community-driven education and tourism. The museum exists to better the quality of living for the people of Amherst and to serve as an educational center for our community. Please consider volunteering and becoming a part of Amherst’s Historical Society. Contact us today! You can also help your local historical society by giving to the museum’s annual campaign and help preserve and interpret the story of Amherst for the people of today and the community of tomorrow.
