Small Town Lake Historic Tourism

The Upstate New York hamlet of Seneca Falls is a picturesque community rich with history and surrounded by the region’s natural beauty. The town’s most distinctive claim to fame is the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, a foundational conference in the history of women’s rights in America. To this day, the town is full of buildings and homes dating back over two centuries, lending a timeless character to the surroundings.

Seneca Falls is generally considered to be the inspiration for the community of Bedford Falls in the film It’s A Wonderful Life, and the town’s annual Christmas celebrations pay direct tribute to the 1946 classic. Positioned amid the Finger Lakes with Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge close by, the area is perfect for folks who enjoy spending quality time outdoors.
