1. Off-Season Perks
The first reason why the next few weeks are an ideal time to visit the Martin House is because overall, the grounds are quieter and less busy during the winter months.
Spring and summer brings warmer weather to Western New York, which means more tourists and tour groups will be out and about. We highly recommend booking a tour of the Martin House during February or March if you’re local to Buffalo and want to avoid the crowds that come with tourist season.
