Visitor Information

The Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, New York, is the best-preserved and most complete complex of buildings remaining in the United States of the “guilds” that evolved as centers of craftsmanship and philosophy during the late 19th century. Founded by Elbert Hubbard in 1897, it is often considered the birthplace of the American Arts & Crafts Movement. The Campus, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986, contains nine of the original 14 structures including the Inn, the Chapel, the Print Shop, the Furniture Shop, and the Copper Shop. You are invited to come visit and discover the rebirth of the Roycroft Campus as if Elbert Hubbard and the Roycrofters never left.

The Roycroft Campus Visitor Center is open Tuesday – Saturday from 11am (EST) to 4pm (EST), and the Copper Shop Gallery is open Tuesday – Saturday from 11am (EST) to 5pm (EST). The Campus is closed on seven specific holidays; New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The Roycroft Inn is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Please note that some Campus spaces or buildings may be closed to the public at any given time due to private events or restoration.

The Roycroft Campus grounds and our historic buildings which contain gift shops are open to the general public at no charge. There are certain spaces, such as The Roycroft Campus Museum, as well as guided tours, classes and events that require a registration and admission. Please visit our calendar for upcoming events.

The Roycroft Campus is asking all visitors, staff and volunteers to follow current New York State and CDC guidelines in regard to face masks and social distancing. FYI due to the historic nature of our buildings, some indoor spaces are more confined.
