Stepping Back in Time: The Hull Family Home & Farmstead |
Travel back more than 200 years for a guided tour of the Hull Family Home & Farmstead, the oldest fully restored stone dwelling in Erie County. Built around 1810 by Revolutionary War veteran Warren Hull for his wife, Polly, and their family, the Federal-style stone house tells the story of one of Western New York's earliest pioneer families and the world they helped build. This 90-minute tour will take you through the beautifully restored historic house and across the farmstead, including the reconstructed early-19th-century threshing barn and Hull family cemetery. Discover how the Hull family lived and worked, and learn about life on a Western New York farm before the Erie Canal transformed the region. * This facility is not fully handicapped accessible, esp. the bathrooms. The tour is limited to 50 guests and will last 90 minutes. Free parking.
