We invite
you to browse through the Village of Homer, New York. Our unique character comes from our small-town, rural atmosphere,
our broad, charming tree-lined streets, a rich and varied collection
of eighteenth and nineteenth century homes and commercial buildings,
and the Victorian business district. Our picturesque village
green and its gazebo serve as the hub for many of the cultural,
educational, and religious affairs of the village.
