Village of Hamburg Walking Tour

Join us for a walking tour of one of the most charming villages in Erie County. There is much more to Hamburg than the Erie County Fair and snow! This tour will explore Hamburg’s Main Street, which is a National Historic District consisting of 62 contributing buildings, most of which date back to the 1800s.  Along the 1.5 mile route, participants will enjoy the beautiful architecture, churches, parks, and gardens while learning some of the history of the “Town That Friendship Built.”

Meet outside Main Street Ice Cream at 35 Main Street, Hamburg, NY 14075. Parking is available along Main Street and other nearby streets, or in the Village of Hamburg municipal parking lot with entrances on both Main Street and Buffalo Street. This tour is approximately ninety minutes in length and approximately 1.5 miles of walking.
