roycroft campus

This place never disappoints in the classy way they treat you and feed you. Great place for friends, couples, and work events. Every time it has been lovely. p.s. Crab Cakes are the best!

The Roycroft Inn is a delight not to be missed. The food is very, very good and the creme brulee is amazing!!! The ambience is welcoming and the staff is very professional, yet friendly. Even the restrooms are top shelf. You must not miss stopping in.

Much love and money at work here and it shows! Something for all including gifts, music, food and history. Don't miss it.

If you are into Arts and Crafts or Mission Style, this is the place to be!!..A great Inn, copper shop and classes. I was there for a class - all hands on!

We took the one hour tour, although it went on about an hour and a half. Very knowledgable docent, terrific tour, gorgeous craftsmanship in the buildings and finish work.

My Mother and I visited here on Monday - we are great fans of Frank Lloyd Wright and William Morris, one of the leaders of the Arts and Crafts movement in the UK, so when we found out about the Roycroft Campus we wanted to stop by and take a look. We enjoyed looking around the Roycroft Inn, the visitors center at the Roycroft Campus where the staff were terrifically helpful and nice and where we picked up the self guided tour leaflet and we enjoyed visiting the Copper shop where we bought some nice gifts and also the antiques center where we also picked up a couple of items. Sadly the chapel was closed which was a shame as it is supposed to be quite lovely. Just down the road is Baker Memorial United Methodist Church which houses a fantastic collection of original Tiffany windows, some signed by the artist. Doris, the church secretary whom we had emailed in advance was most helpful and allowed us into the sanctuary to see the windows. They were magnificent. For a $3 donation you get a great little color booklet to take home with you which explains the way Tiffany made the windows and their unique quality and what each window means. Well worth stopping here!

The Roycroft offers a store, a museum, a hotel, a restaurant, an information building with a really nice display of artifacts and some well presented historical information along with an antiques shop on the premises. That along with the amazing architecture and neighborhood of East Aurora makes it well worth a bit of your time if you are in the area!

I liked the artwork presented in an authentic artistic setting. I did not like that the some of the retail clerks in the copper house were so reluctant to share some info about the history in a brief statement or two. Instead they passed it off to the museum.

The campus restoration is showing results! The Roycroft Inn remains the centerpiece, but the reconstructed Power House now has a visitors' center and the Copper Shop has a great collection of artisan works. Walking tours of the campus available.

Having been an avid fan of the Arts and Crafts movement in this country for most of my adult life, while passing through Buffalo, NY, on the way to visit in-laws, I was very excited to learn that East Aurora was within easy driving distance (about 20 miles). We decided to spend a couple of days there, and did a tour of the campus and stayed at the Roycroft Inn. Our room at the Inn was well worth the price, and we had a fantastic meal in their dining room. Sitting around the fireplace in the lobby was a relaxing way to spend the evening after walking around town all day.Link to info on touring the campus: http://www.roycroftcampuscorporation.com/visit.htmlLink to Roycroft Inn: http://www.roycroftinn.com/There is also a children's museum, and the Millard Fillmore house, both worh a visit, in East Aurora.

We took a walking tour of the campus and had a wonderful tour guide who did an excellent job of informing the visitor about the history and legacy of the Roycroft school. The tour money goes to the refurbishing and upkeep of the original campus. You dont go into any building save for the Copper Pot where the handmade items are sold. They ask that no photos of the items are taken. It would be nice to have a place where one could view an artisan working. However, that said, it was a nice tour and I know the fee goes to their good cause.

We had tried to plan for several years to come here and finally made it. Seeing what took place here during the Arts & Craft era was fascinating. To know the Roycroft craftsmanship still exists is awesome.

This is THE place to find unique Arts and Crafts gifts. A wonderful selection of items including one of a kind pieces handmade by artisans from near and far.

Always nice to wander the Roycroft Inn and the surrounding area. The history here is interesting and the on-going renovations will make it even better. The Copper Shop gift shop has lovely, although expensive, items and many are from Roycroft master artisans. Check out the Roycroft website for maps and times of shops and museums before you come.

Go slowly through this collection of original art, pottery, textiles, furniture, metalware, leather, paper - all things Arts & Crafts. Soak it in - treasure your time in one space filled with the best examples of craftsmanship you will see anywhere. You will want to buy something for yourself and your treasured friends and family.
