Enchanting Getaway

Experience the charm, history, and heart of Western New York.

Just 25 miles from Buffalo and 45 minutes from Niagara Falls, East Aurora is a picturesque village known for its rich history, vibrant Main Street, and warm community spirit. Once home to President Millard Fillmore and Roycroft founder Elbert Hubbard, the village offers a unique blend of historic landmarks and small-town hospitality.

Stroll Through History
East Aurora’s Main Street is perfect for a leisurely walk. Browse one-of-a-kind shops, enjoy cozy cafes, and take in the beautifully preserved architecture. Be sure to visit Vidler’s 5 & 10, the world’s largest five-and-dime store, catch a movie at the vintage Aurora Theater, or grab wings and a local favorite—beef on weck—at the beloved Bar-Bill Tavern.

Explore Local Landmarks
History lovers will enjoy the Millard Fillmore House, an 1825 home restored to reflect the early life of America’s 13th president. Nearby, the Roycroft Campus—a centerpiece of the Arts & Crafts movement—features artisan shops, a museum, and the beautifully restored Roycroft Inn, perfect for a meal or a quiet afternoon.

Family Fun & Timeless Toys
East Aurora is also the hometown of Fisher-Price Toys. Since 1930, this global toy maker has called the village home. Today, the company’s headquarters still operate here, and during the holidays, the building lights up with festive displays that delight all ages.
