Join us on a great historical trip - and help the Nunda Historical Society at the same time!
Details Below!
| Nunda Historical Society will host a bus trip to East Aurora, NY on Wednesday, July 13, 2011. The bus will leave Nunda at 8am and the day will be filled with many education and interesting tours, shopping and a delicious luncheon at the Roycroft Inn. |
 |
Arriving in East Aurora, our tour will visit the Bethany Memorial UM Church. This church is fortunate to have a series of beautiful windows, designed and executed by Louis C. Tiffany. And a trip to East Aurora isn't complete without a visit to Vidler's, "the store that is shopping entertainment at its best!" and time has been set aside so everyone will be able to see it all!

| Before lunch we will go on a guided tour of the Roycroft Inn, Hubbard's original Print Shop. It became an Inn in 1903 and received National Historic Landmark status in 1986. Out lunch will consist of soup, salad, and a choice of 3 entrees, Panko Crusted Chicken, Filet of Sirloin or Roycroft Cobb Salad with Lemon Sorbet for dessert. The delicious food and service will satisfy everyone! |  |
 |
After lunch we will visit the rest of the Roycroft Campus. Elbert Hubbard founded his Roycroft Campus in 1895 as a reaction to the effects of the Industrial Revolution on art and society. The men and women who believed in this movement wanted the return of artistry and a focus on the beauty of the materials used. The tour of the many buildings show the mark left by Hubbard and others on the Arts & Crafts Movement in America. Their works works and spirit still beckon their modern counterparts to come to the Campus and create. Before leaving, there will be more time to browse in the many unique shops on and around the Campus. The bus will return us to Nunda by 6 pm. |
The cost of the bus transportation, tours, shopping, and the very special lunch is $85.00. The day promises to be one you will remember for a long time, and the proceeds will go toward the development of our new archives and museum rooms. Please join us for this exciting trip into the history of our own Western New York. If you have any questions, call Sue Long at 468-3413 or Fran Ludwig at 4766 2749. Seats are limited, so put your reservation in soon. Reservations must be made by June 8th. Hope to see you July 13th. |
