Explore Buffalo’s new season
of tours will move inside through April 30, with a series showcasing
the interiors of historical buildings and bus tours around the city.
The Gilded Age Series, which includes
the Delaware Avenue Mansions tour, teaches individuals about the history of the
homes occupied by some of Buffalo’s wealthiest residents.
“It’s a little bit of
architecture, a little bit of history, a little bit of scandal,” said Michele
Siwinski, director, chairperson of the financial committee and docent for Explore Buffalo.

Explore Buffalo offers
over 70 different tours throughout the year. There’s a tour available that fits everyone’s
schedule.
The next
season for walking tours begins in May and will feature a new tour called, The
Niagara Street Industrial Heritage Tour.
“Niagara Street was a center
of industry with the Beltline Railroad and the Buffalo River,” said Chuck
LaChiusa, board president and founding member of Explore Buffalo.
Explore Buffalo has 100
docents and volunteers who provide historical insight as they lead a variety
of tours around the city.

people to take unlimited walking and spotlight tours, and attended unlimited discussions. By Tatiyana Bellamy and Edwin Viera
