A Successfully Restored Sherburne Inn Will Serve as a Testimony For All Who Strive Toward a Renaissance of Rural America.
As the geographical and social center of this vibrant Central New York village, The Sherburne Inn bridges past, present, and future with community spirit and an historic legacy. Saved from demolition in the last decade by generous donations and preservation grants, our mission began with an extensive renovation. Now functioning as an event space, the Inn prepares to enter Phase II of its rebirth.
Newsworthy
Sherburne Heritage Day
There is such a gem in Sherburne that we hope folks will take time out to visit. Sherburne Historic Park is a wonderland of local history (both the log cabin and the nearby museum). Every year Historic Park hosts Heritage Day, which this year was on Saturday. Along with the artifacts—from artwork and antiques to posters and woven baskets—Heritage Day featured vendors, baked goods, and a live band.
We hope you took part in this terrific event, and if not, mark your calendars for next year!

Wolves!
If you didn’t make it up to The Wolf Mountain Nature Center in Smyrna on Sunday, you missed a wonderful day! SSIRP board member Donna Tauss captured these photos at the Wolves & Watermelons event. The Sherburne area has so many things to offer, and Wolf Mountain is one of the most special places. Check out their website at thewolfmountainnaturecenter.org.
