7 Places Where You Can Still Experience Old 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.
