Millard Fillmore Remembered at Moravia and Fillmore Glen
A youth's Fourth of July oration near Moravia foreshadowed Millard Fillmore's rise to the 13th U.S. president. The article notes his early law study with Judge Walter Wood, his teaching, and his later Buffalo contributions including the University of Buffalo and the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy. Visitors today explore Fillmore Glen near Moravia, St Matthew's Church, and a replica log cabin birthplace.
