This two hour boat tour done exclusively by The Industrial Heritage Committee, Inc. since 1985 is the premier grain elevator tour in the Buffalo Harbor. Old photos, maps and video will be on display for viewing during the tour to further enhance this educational experience suitable for all ages. This tour was featured on the CBS Sunday Morning program.
