Main Street Walking Tour

Main Street Walking Tours are back! You are invited to join City of Cortland historian Kate O’Connell to explore Cortland’s downtown business district. With her wealth of knowledge and passion for local history, Kate will share stories about the unique architecture and people that have shaped downtown Cortland over the years.

This walking tour is perfect for both residents and visitors who wish to learn more about Cortland's rich history. It's your chance to gain a deeper understanding of Main Street's storied past. We'll start the tour at 2 North Main Street (Bailey Place Insurance) at 9:30am. The average length of the tour is one and a half to two hours, so be sure to wear good walking shoes.

You might want to support our local businesses and enjoy a fabulous lunch at one of the many downtown restaurants when the tour wraps up—you’ll be hungry! To reserve your spot, please call 607-756-6071 or email info@cortlandhistory.org. A suggested $10 per person donation will support the Cortland County Historical Society. We’re looking forward to sharing life in the past lane with you!
