Springville New York

Small Town, Big Dreams

Springville may appear to be the quintessential American small town, but take a closer look and its appeal is much more multifaceted. Yes, it has a traditional Main Street with small, locally-owned shops. And, yes, the Springville Auction, which happens every Wednesday, does feel like a snapshot of days gone by when farmers and their families came to town to shop, meet their neighbors and maybe even buy or sell some livestock. But that’s just part of the story. Check out the Springville Center for the Arts, an innovative regional arts hub with theater, visual arts and musical programming and don’t miss nearby Griffis Sculpture Park where hundreds of whimsical sculptures dot the rolling hills.
