Local History Walking Tour: Beyond Flour and Flowers

Local History Walking Tour: Beyond Flour and Flowers In-Person

Rochester's logo, a blue lilac combined with a water wheel, is telling of the city's industrial history. Both the logo and the nicknames it features--Flour City and Flower City--evoke the two major industries that fueled Rochester's early development. However, myriad other and perhaps lesser known local industries and inventions also helped put Rochester on the map. Join Dan Cody for a 1.2-mile walking tour exploring "Beyond Flour and Flowers: Industry in Rochester."

Meet on the north side of the Rundel Memorial Building, near the corner of South Avenue and Broad Street. In the case of inclement weather, the tour may be cancelled. 

Registration is encouraged but not required for this free walking tour.
