Historic Marker Dedication (Back to events)

The Kleinhans Community Association (KCA) will dedicate a historic marker to the bravery of Job Hoisington, a Buffalonian and War of 1812 hero who sacrificed his life so that fellow villagers could escape British and Native American forces that invaded and burned Buffalo to the ground on Dec. 30, 1813. “The Kleinhans Community Association is honored to commemorate this long-forgotten Buffalo hero, not to glorify war, but to recall how ordinary citizens responded in extraordinary ways when the conflict found its way to Buffalo,” says KCA president Christopher N. Brown.
A reception, a reading of the epic poem and an one-hour historic walking tour will follow the dedication.
