Have a hankering for some history? Buffalo Bayou Partnership invites you to sign up as soon as possible for one of historian Louis Aulbach's popular Looking Back: History Boat Tours on Buffalo Bayou.  Learn about Houston's rich history from local historian Louis Aulbach while cruising down the bayou.

Look back to the late 1800’s, when Houston was founded, to learn about those important individuals and families along Buffalo Bayou who helped shape Houston.

Louis Aulbach, local historian and author of Buffalo Bayou: An Echo of Houston's Wilderness Beginnings will be your guide.  He will share stories of the Allen brothers, the founders of Houston, and provide historical information about places, people, animals and events along the bayou west and east of downtown including which families were first to settle in Houston, the first breweries of Buffalo Bayou, and early wildlife sightings.

Dates:
April 2, 10am - Noon (going west)
May 7, 10am - Noon (going east)
