Historical Walking Tour- Beyond Flour and Flowers: Industry in Rochester

Rochester’s logo, a blue lilac combined with a water wheel, tells 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 the city’s early development. However, a myriad of other—and perhaps lesser-known—local industries and inventions helped put Rochester on the map. Meet on the north side of the Rundel Memorial Building to explore Rochester’s industrial history on this 1.2-mile walking tour.

In case of inclement weather, the tour may be canceled.

Registration is requested but not required.
