More of a village than a town, East Aurora continues its heritage as a center of Arts and Crafts and beckons day tripper to come and explore all it has to offer. The prime attraction in East Aurora is the National Historic Landmark Roycroft Campus where you can learn all about the 1900’s Arts and Crafts Movement. If you visit during summer you can join one of the regular guided walking tours (off-season tours can be arranged in advance).

Architecture enthusiasts will enjoy strolling around the village to admire the distinctive architectural styles. There are many quaint and quirky shops, galleries, studios and great eateries. When you have worked up a thirst you can head to the taproom at 42 North Brewing Company to try a craft beer (or two).
