Clyde

Choose Countryside Charm

Some of the Erie Canal’s most beautiful scenery is Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge nearby. A unique feature of this settlement, first inhabited by Scottish immigrants, is the name of its principal street, which is Glasgow rather than Main. Clyde has also retained its traditional village square and quaint bandstand, which serve as a popular gathering place. A stop at the Galen Historical Museum uncovers yet another unusual facet of this pleasant village. Although primarily a rural community, the major business was once the Clyde Glass Works, started in 1828 and nationally known for its bottles and mason jars. Be sure to visit 1722 replica Blockhouse. Lauraville Landing is a popular kayak/canoe launch and picnic area.
