Straddling the winding Erie Canal - at the foot of the Finger Lakes Region - is a spirited small community founded on the Erie Canal and New York Central Railroad, peppermint oil and pottery. Lyons, New York is the seat of Wayne County and a meeting point between miles of lakeside vistas, rolling hills, quaint antiques shops, road-side farmers' markets and wine trails.

The village is marked by an old-fashioned downtown business district - which still contains numerous family-owned shops, historic churches, quaint side street neighborhoods and a network of close-knit community members - who celebrate their community every year with the Peppermint Days festival .

As the county seat, it contains the historic old Wayne County Courthouse - whose silver dome is a crowned jewel that can be seen for miles. And a stone’s throw away are miles of sandy Lake Ontario and Finger Lakes beaches, doldrums-laden recreation routes and urban cultural centers.

Lyons is a place many like to call home because it is home to so much.
