#OnThisDay In 1882, Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde gives a lecture at the former Academy of Music. His lecture was a matinee and he caught a train after to give a lecture in Niagara Falls. Reports of the lecture state that Wilde was growing as an orator, with most of his lecture “appearing to come from memory”. Did you ever know Oscar Wilde had come to speak in Buffalo?
