Top Historical landmarks in Port Byron, United States

Great stop along the thruway. A short walk, and you'll reach a few restored buildings. There's a passive option to donate via card if you feel so inclined in the Erie House Tavern (small white, on top of the piano). The lovely volunteers shared a bit of history and how the complex came to be.

Nice place for history buffs to take a break on the east bound Thruway.

One of the marvelous ways to experience a chunk of what once made upstate New York an economic empire. Friendly staff, informative center, and an experience that blends the canal within the buildings and structures that once contained the canal’s world.

Plan to stop here... to find out more about the history of the Canals
