As we pedal through the streets, you’ll explore the grain elevator industry and the daily challenges faced by the community that once called this area home. Against The Grain author Tim Bohen, along with other special guest speakers, will join us to share personal stories and insights that bring the neighborhood’s history to life.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the ingenuity that fueled Buffalo’s growth as we pass by the iconic grain elevators. But this tour goes beyond industry; it’s about the people whose resilience and spirit helped shape the Old First Ward and, in turn, America itself. The tour celebrates the immigrant experience, highlighting the hopes, dreams, and struggles of those who sought a better life in the United States.
