Sackets Harbor, NY, is a quaint village on the shores of Lake Ontario.Having lived there for several years, I often find myself missing the peaceful runs or walks along the lake and strolls down Main Street. However, what I miss most is experiencing the village in the fall. While Sackets Harbor is beautiful year-round, it truly comes alive in autumn. The changing leaves transform the entire village into a breathtaking display of color. Luckily, I don't live too far away now so I can visit every year.
If you ever visit here, you MUST go to Tin Pan Galley for brunch. It is still my ultimate favorite brunch place to this day. The stuffed french toast is always my preferred choice for brunch; however, you can get a single stuffed french toast as a side and then get a meal on top of that. Trust me, your stomach will leave very full and happy! Don't forget to top it off with their fall mimosa.
If you're a history buff, you will appreciate visiting the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site, where pivotal moments from the War of 1812 come to life. On Main St., you can even grab a historic brew at 1812 Brewing Company - a nice pub right on the water. You also can go about a mile down the road to Brady Road and Pike Road where you'll be surrounded by old and new military housing and buildings. There are also great views of the lake from here. If you still have room for it, grab a bite at The Barracks Inn Restaurant on the water.
Spending a day to explore Sackets Harbor is just enough to see all the cute shops, restaurants and cafes, explore history, and scenic views that highlight the rich heritage there. I've shared more photos below so you can see more of what makes Sackets Harbor so special to visit.
