Ken Burns' new six-part series, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, will air September 27-October 2 at 8:00 pm on WNED-TV, Western New York's PBS station. The series is directed by Mr. Burns and co-produced with his longtime collaborator Dayton Duncan, who is also the series' writer. The National Parks starts in the mid-1800s, when the parks were just an idea, and charts the system's growth through 1980.

On September 14, 1901, Buffalo, NY stepped into the national spotlight as Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office as the nation's 26th president following the assassination of President William McKinley. In a simple ceremony in the library of the Ansley Wilcox house, Roosevelt began a journey that would forever alter the course of the United States and the office of the presidency itself. Seventy years later, on September 14, 1971, the Ansley Wilcox house was opened to the public as a historic house museum, the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site.
