Buffalo Lit

We’ll tell Buffalo’s story through the lives of five great authors. You’ll hear the story of Mark Twain’s time with a Buffalo newspaper; William Wells Brown’s introduction to the Abolition Movement and his early writing and lectures; Marian deForest’s career as one of Buffalo’s first female journalists; and popular playwright, Anna Katherine Green’s life as the Mother of the Detective novel and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s influential Buffalo childhood. The tour lasts about an hour and a half.

Tours alternate Saturdays and Sundays with some Tuesday and Friday dates available throughout the season.  See our website for specific days.
