With a history linked closely to the railroad industry that was so prominent in Buffalo at the turn of the century, the neighborhood of Lovejoy is nicknamed Iron Island because it is surrounded by railroad tracks on all four sides. The Iron Island Museum was opened in 2000 by the ”’Iron Island Preservation Society”’ and is dedicated to retelling the history of Lovejoy with a particular emphasis on the railroads that have shaped its identity. Formerly a funeral home, the Iron Island Museum’s reputation for ghost sightings has attracted the attention of paranormal researchers from around the region and further afield, as well as the television shows Ghost Lab and Ghost Hunters. Accordingly, overnight ghost hunts, conducted periodically by reservation, are a popular offering of the Iron Island Museum.
