Little Falls, New York might have a population of only around 5,000 people, but its charm and history is outsized. At one point in the 19th century, it was a center for the production of cheese in America. Cheese made in Little Falls would be sent to markets in New York City and beyond, and the town was even home to America’s first-ever cheese market! It’s also home to an annual cheese festival. If you want to know more about Little Falls, keep reading below. It’s perfect for a day trip, and quite possibly the most charming small town in New York.
For a great day in a cheesy—and we mean that in the best way possible—and charming small town in New York, make the trip to Little Falls. It’s a great way to spend a summer weekend.
