Samuel Helm Historic Marker
Buffalo Police Station, 695 Main Street, Buffalo, NY

"German-American Samuel Helm arrived in the area what was once the village of Buffalo in 1809. He worked as a ferryman until he was killed during a British Raid in the War of 1812. While Helm passed away years ago his memory lives on as the namesake of The Steuben Society of America – Samuel Helm Unit #144, an organization that celebrates the European heritage of its members." - Pomeroy Foundation (online January 2025)
