Jamestown, New York
Located in Chautauqua County, Jamestown is nestled between the blue waters of Lake Erie and the green, lush landscape of the Allegheny National Forest. Jamestown offers a variety of activities for everyone, regardless of their interested, which is why it's considered The Pearl City.
Along with being located close to Lake Erie, Jamestown also boasts the nearby Chautauqua Lake, a fresh water resource for fishermen, boatmen, and naturalists alike. The city also provides its visitors and residents with a variety of cultural opportunities, including an abundance of museum. One museum even commemorates one of Jamestown's-not to mention Hollywood's-most notable persons-the beloved comedic actress, Lucille Ball.
A variety of ski resorts, acclaimed golf courses, nature preserves, and water sports also make it a location that is full of adventure. The city even boasts a world-class arena that offers concerts, hockey games, and figure skating fun. If you are interested in more big-city activities, Jamestown is within a three-hour drive of multiple major cities, including Buffalo, Toronto, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Rochester. No matter if you need a laugh from the Lucy-Desi Museum or if you want to
Lakewood, New York
To the west of Olean, right near Jamestown, is the beautiful village of Lakewood. Located on the southern tip of Chautauqua Lake, Lakewood is a charming town with only 3,002 residents within its borders.
With the Chautauqua Lake located mere steps from many of its residents' doorsteps, the town of Lakewood has a variety of water activities to offer its residents and visitors. As it heads into its second century as an official village, Lakewood has incorporated many commercial shops into its limits, resulting in the Chautauqua Mall. This mall is considered a major shopping area for residents throughout the surrounding counties. The town offers a variety of cultural events, including an annual Summerfest to celebrate July 4th. The town even recently opened a dog park, called "Bark Park," along the shores of the lake.
Fredonia, New York
Bordering Dunkirk in Chautauqua County is the village of Fredonia, New York. As the home of the State University of New York (SUNY) at Fredonia, the village combines old-world charm with new-world ideals to create a picturesque town with quaint shops, buzzing streets, and terrific cultural events.
Many of Fredonia's commercial buildings date from the mid-1800s, reflecting many popular styles during that time period, including Greek Revival, Italianate, Victorian Gothic, and more. The structures add to the charm of Fredonia's atmosphere, which is increased by the fact that many of these buildings house a variety of everyday shops. Even the SUNY-Fredonia campus features historically important architecture, with many of the buildings designed by world-renowned architect I.M Pei.
As the "Best Community in Western New York," according to Business First Magazine, it comes as no surprise that Fredonia also offers an abundance of cultural events, thanks in part to the university hosting a multitude of speakers and artists, keeping the town buzzing with activity. Every Saturday morning, the village also holds a Farmers Market, encouraging locals to buy locally grown and made goods.
Whether you are hoping to see some beautiful architecture or simply want to slow down and enjoy the small town life that Fredonia offers, there's no denying that this town has a little something to offer everyone that stops by.
