Old First Ward: Industry to Resurgence Walking Tour 11AM
About the event

In recent years, this corridor has emerged as a major area for development along the Buffalo River, including residential and recreational projects. This walking tour will showcase both the industrial past of this historic neighborhood as well as the current revitalization taking place that is bringing new life to this part of the city.
