We visited this site last week, Sept. 13, 2012, (111 years, shy of one day of the Inauguration), when we were in Buffalo, NY, after visiting Niagara Falls. It is very interesting and well done and I recommend it to anyone interested in history.
I think they should add this video to their display. It would be very interesting to view it when you're standing in the library among some of the original furnishings. V

We are very glad you enjoyed your visit!
We have, in fact, considered making the reenactment video a permanent part of the tour experience, but we are still experimenting with how and where of it can best be utilized.
Thank you for your feedback!
