Trumansburg, New York

About this city

Trumansburg is a historic, wonderfully vibrant rural valley village positioned flatly on the far western slopes of the Cayuga Lake basin within the geologically distinct Finger Lakes region. Established in 1792 by American Revolutionary War veteran Abner Treman, the town expertly preserves its picture-perfect, tree-lined historic downtown commercial core built entirely of 19th-century Victorian brick rowhouses. Today, Trumansburg has transformed into a major hub for eco-tourism, celebrated nationally for housing one of the single tallest and most topographically dramatic vertical waterfalls in the eastern United States.
