History
The Buffalo Chamber of Commerce
was founded
in the year 1979 by local citizens
B. E.
(Gene) Lee, W. H. Ryder and Patsy
Indermon.
Since that time, the chamber
has endeavored
to support the business community
of Buffalo
and the individual citizens who
make up that
community. They truly are the
backbone of
our town. We hold several events
throughout
the year, Spring Fest in May
and the Buffalo
Stampede in September being our
major events.
Buffalo is also host to The Buffalo
Gun Show
(2) and several Horseshoe Tournaments
per
year at one of the best facilities
in the
state.
Any of you rockhounds know that of the jewels
found in the earth, some are
in plain sight
laying on top of the surface,
others are
sticking out of the dirt so that
you can
still see them, and others are
hidden deep
in the heart of the earth. Sometimes
you
have to dig! Just like that,
many of our
businesses are located within
eyesight of
I-45 that runs north and south
through our
community, but that’s only a
portion of the
delights that await those who
like
to pull off the beaten path and
dig a little!
We have so many diverse businesses
that reside
along the two other major highways
(SH 79
and SH 75) that intercept right
through the
heart of old town Buffalo. So
if you are
traveling any one of these three
roads one
day and have a little extra time,
stop and
have a look-see.
Our town boasts of some fantastic
places
where you can buy that special
someone a
gift or some flowers, you can
treat your
taste buds with some delicious
food, you
can browse through the bookshelves,
you can
visit the antique store, you
can get your
hair cut or styled, you can price
that hardware
or plumbing supplies or lumber
you need,
you can get a feel of that new
gun you’ve
been wanting to purchase, you
can get those
car parts that will ‘keep it
going’ or talk
to one of our body & paint
shops about
making it look good while it’s
going!
You can drive by the Old Lyons
Hotel, built
in 1911 as a stopover for the
train passengers.
And if you decide to stay over,
we have some
wonderful hotels and motels that
will be
delighted to put you up for the
night, and
some friendly real estates agents
that will
help you find that perfect piece
of property
if you want to stay a little
longer! We look
forward to meeting you!
