About Iron Island Museum

The Iron Island Museum sits on Lovejoy Street in Buffalo and occupies a former church and funeral home building donated to a neighborhood preservation group in 2000. Its collection is mostly donated items, including church furnishings, railroad pieces, and military uniforms, and one room holds a New York Central Terminal display with a terminal building model. The museum also runs guided tours, Halloween and happy hour evenings, and overnight paranormal investigations for paying groups.
