Summertime means the Ellicottville Historical Society Museum is open for business on the weekends: Saturday, and Sunday, 1-4 pm, or by request, through September. Our beloved historic building sits on one of the four corners, next to the ski tree. There is a note on the door with Town and Village Historian Ellen Frank’s phone number (716-474-8528) in case you or your group would like a museum tour during the week. She will also treat 5 or 6 visitors to an impromptu Village walking tour if she is available.
This Saturday, July 13, Ms. Frank will be offering a Walking Tour around the village, showing off the historic homes, and talking about the founders and people who lived in them. Sunday’s (July 14) walk will feature a walk to the Jefferson Street Cemetery where you will meet many of the founders in their eternal resting places and perhaps pass the homes they lived in prior to their last trip to the cemetery. All tours meet at 1pm at the Gazebo and cost $10 per person, which supports the Museum.
