Lucy-Desi Museum, Buffalo

If you love Lucy, this museum is for you. This small museum chronicles the lives of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Lucy grew up in nearby Celoron, just a few miles west of Jamestown. Some of the items displayed include the Arnaz family portrait, which once hung in their Beverly Hills home, along with costumes, photos, and other memorabilia. Audio and video clips from I Love Lucy and Life With Lucy are shown continuously. The gift shop has a large selection of Lucy items; a larger gift shop is located down the street in the Lucy-Desi Center. The nearby Desilu Playhouse has exact replicas of studio sets from I Love Lucy, including the Ricardo’s New York City apartment. - Christine A. Smyczynski
