Initiatives

Patrick Tavern Porch

We are recreating the 19th-century front porch of historic Patrick Tavern. Drive by on Main Street to see the daily progress!

Wells College Archives

We are supporting the Village of Aurora’s efforts concerning Wells College’s historic archives that pertain to the Village. 

Historic 1795 Law Office / First Post Office

We are working together with the Inns of Aurora and the Village of Aurora to preserve Walter Wood’s 1795 law office, which functioned as the first post office west of Canajoharie, New York. The building will be dismantled and stored before being rebuilt on Village property.

Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI)

We have received a grant from New York State as part of their Downtown Revitalization Initiative to carry out a major project on the Patrick Tavern property, making it more attractive and useful.

Please return to this page for more details and updates on each of these initiatives.
