Each summer, thousands of visitors travel along NY Route 39 and the Genesee Valley to enter Letchworth State Park, the Grand Canyon of the East, or plan a getaway on the shores of Silver Lake. The area entices road trippers with its rural charm―dairy cows, farmland, and clean, fresh open air―and the curiously hip, revitalized Main Street in Perry. Just about 60 minutes from Buffalo and Rochester, the merchants of Perry are open and ready to welcome summer visitors looking to escape city life while appreciating the land and heritage.
