Amherst, located directly northeast of Buffalo
in Western New York, is
a safe, suburban university town with much more to offer than just suburban sprawl.
Exploring its streets, one will discover diverse communities, known as “hamlets”,
which boast plenty of historic charm and early 20th century architecture. Formed
in 1818, Amherst was named after an English lord and British Army Commander-in-Chief,
Jeffrey Amherst, and its heritage is celebrated at the Amherst
Museum where visitors can experience what life was like in the 19th century
Niagara frontier town. Home to the University
at Buffalo's northern campus, Amherst also offers a thriving academic, cultural
and creative scene. The on-campus Center
for the Arts is the town's premier performing and visual arts venue, while
MusicalFare
has brought dynamic musical theater to the area since 1990. Sporting three fine
golf courses, including the reputable Glen
Oaks facility, as well as scenic nature trails at the Great
Baehre Swamp State Wetlands, Amherst offers opportunities for enjoying the
great outdoors too.
