Architecture Tour
Forgotten History
Like most towns across America founded and built in the late 19th century, Skaneateles has a lovely array of Gothic, Victorian, and Greek revival architectural examples peppered through the town. Some of these examples are available on our walking tour and can be visible from our Main vain of the village, Genesee Street. However others, are a little further away and may take a car or bicycle to find.
Step back in time
Many notable victorian examples are now Beds and Breakfasts and guests can wander though them marveling at the “frozen in time” feel like the experience of the Sherwood inn. Inside and outside, the Sherwood feels like you’re in the year 1840. Many of the rooms, have been updated for modern conveniences, but the overall ambience of the inn is authentic 19th century.
