Stroll and shop with us
Erie County’s first township – dating back to 1808 – is teeming with historic charm. Sip afternoon tea or enjoy a fine dining experience and overnight stay at an inn built in 1853. Sample one of the signature smoked cocktails at the Humbert House, housed in an old pharmacy that dates back to 1864. The history lesson continues with a visit to the hamlet of Clarence Center. The Eshelman Building, constructed shortly after the Civil War, is now home to a unique gift shop and toast café. Treat your sweet tooth to a sugary surprise at Dawn’s Candy Shack or Papa’s Popcorn. Linger long enough to cap off the evening with a glass of Cabernet on the newly-expanded patio at Gertie’s. History loves company!
