From Main to the Kicking Tree
“From Main to the Kicking Tree: Daily Walks in Aurora, ca. 1905”
Experience Aurora around the turn of the last century in the show at Patrick Tavern, 302 Main St. From Wells College’s opening in 1868 for many decades, students were required to walk about a mile each day. The most usual walk began at Main Building and went north to a big elm tree on the west side of the street, not quite opposite Sherwood Rd., which came to be called the Kicking Tree.

A House Tells a Story: The Art, Scholarship, and Friends of Else and Otto Fleissner in Aurora
Every house has a story to tell about the families who have lived there. But few have told their story as eloquently as the Else and Otto Fleissner home in Aurora. The Fleissner home, at the time of the February 2009 sale, was considered an “authentic house,” meaning that most of the home’s interior retained its original elements since the time it was built (1900).
