As much as we love to see all the new and exciting businesses and structures that continuously pop up around the city of Buffalo, sometimes we just wish we could go back to the good old days. Since we don’t live in a time where teleportation exists, for now, you can jump back into the past by visiting some of the incredible places that will take you right back to Old Buffalo. Check it out!
1. The Coit House of Buffalo
As the oldest house in town, the Coit House is certainly a good place to start when it comes to exploring Old Buffalo. Built back in 1815, the home was lived in by notable locals like George Coit, one of the Fathers of Buffalo. At a massive 4,500 square feet equipped with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the historic home was purchased in 2014 by a few locals who put in the immense effort of restoring it. Today, Buffalonians can keep an eye out for exclusive tours that are offered throughout the year.
