JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — It was on this date, October 15, 1951, that a WNY native would begin her journey to stardom.

An online trivia event, opening of a new museum gallery and launch of a newly enhanced 'LucyTown' driving tour are just some of the events the Center has in store.

The new gallery celebrates 'Lucy in the Movies' and features a timeline of the actress's 90-plus films. The Comedy Center says it's the first of several galleries to debut in 2020 and 2021.

The 'Lucy Driving Tour' is newly launched online and takes visitors to significant and historic locations in the Jamestown area that represent aspects of the famous red head's life and career, from her schools to her homes, to the now two Lucy statues.
