Preservation Houston’s 90-minute, docent-guided walking tour looks at Buffalo Bayou’s crucial role in Houston’s development. The tour route from Allen’s Landing to Market Square includes surviving remnants of the historic waterfront, including existing portions of the once-massive Houston Ice & Brewing Company complex, sites related to Houston’s role in the Civil War and the area once known as Vinegar Hill, one of the city’s most notorious slums.

Please note this is an exterior architecture tour only. The tour will not go inside any buildings. There are no public restrooms along the tour route.
