BUFFALO, N.Y. For many years, there has been endless discussion of development on Buffalo s outer harbor, but nearly a century ago one of our nation s foremost innovators and industrialists saw its potential.
Henry Ford had a long relationship with Buffalo. In 1913, he began assembling cars on Kensington Avenue. 3 years later, he built a new factory in what is now the Tri-Main Building.
But his connections were also somewhat personal at times. He visited the Chautauqua Institution on a number of occasions with Thomas Edison, who was married to the institution founder s daughter, Mina Miller. Jim Sandoro, founder of the Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum says Ford even made his first sale here, even before the Ford Motor Company was a thing.
