Fairport did not exist before construction of the Erie Canal dried up swamps in the area to leave fertile ground and a “fair port” for travelers. Today, Fairport is the model of a modern canal village where the canal functions as a second main street. Fairport’s many offerings include shopping, dining, craft breweries, a distillery, winery, scenic parks & trails, as well as seasonal festivals and events. Fairport features the only sloped lift bridge along the canal.
