Event Details

Come one, come all! This has been an annual event since wagon days and the town absolutely s w e l l s with excitement and activity.

The Homecoming Celebration usually takes place throughout the last weekend of September, or the first weekend of October. The event is a chance for Alumni of Buffalo Public Schools to return to Buffalo, reacquaint themselves with old friends and see some of the town’s familiar sites. This warm and friendly Homecoming Celebration is so popular that even people who haven’t lived here or gone to school here come to enjoy the time with us!

Festivities begin on Friday with the Hospitality House at the Alumni Building on Buffalo’s main street (Hoy); and an open house at the Buffalo Museum. In the evening a Chili and Stew Supper is sponsored by the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce and followed by the Homecoming Royalty presentation and the all important Homecoming Football Game. Schedule of events may be picked up at the Hospitality House on Friday.

Alabaster Caverns State Park Caving

Alabaster Caverns Caving

In the caves at Alabaster State Park, massive boulders of alabaster, a fine-grained mass gypsum, can be seen in many colors of pink, white and even a rare black. But gypsum isn't all you'll see! There are five species of bats found in the cavern. Some are solitary while others are colonial. Roosting sites provide daytime shelter and a place for the bats not migrating to hibernate during the winter months. Only the Mexican Free-tailed bat migrates from Mexico in Spring to Alabaster Caverns to bear their young and then return to Mexico in the fall.

Guided tours of the main cave are offered on the hour year round. Visitors taking the tour should wear comfortable walking shoes and a light jacket (average temperature is 50 degrees). The walking tour is not recommended for those with mobility or respiratory problems, heart conditions, or claustrophobia.

Or, for the excitement-seeker, there's Wild Caving! Explore one or more of the five undeveloped caves in the park from March through September. Be sure to have the required safety equipment and obtain a permit at the Visitor Center.

Daily 8:00am-5:00pm, guided tours begin promptly on the hour from 9am-4pm. Office closes at 4:30pm November 1-February 28. Reservations are recommended during major holidays, area-wide events and other scheduled happenings.
