Partner, Preserve, Progress
History, Heritage & Progress
Founded in 2008 through the dedication and collaboration of community leaders and volunteers, the Lyons Main Street Program received a National Trust Main Street designation. Established as an independent organization, the program is fully supported by local businesses, organizations, and individuals who believe in investing in the future of Lyons, New York.
Today, the Lyons Main Street Program is committed to strengthening and revitalizing our historic downtown and surrounding business district as a vibrant, welcoming, and economically resilient place in the community. Guided by the Main Street America Four-Point Approach, we support local businesses, preserve and enhance the character of our built environment, promote Lyons as a destination to live, work, shop, and visit, and build strong partnerships that encourage inclusive community engagement. Through strategic investment, thoughtful design, and collaborative leadership, we work to ensure downtown Lyons continues to thrive for generations to come.

Lyons Citizens of the Year
We are deeply grateful to our Lyons Citizens of the Year for their dedication to making our community a wonderful place to live, work, and grow. Through leadership, service, and a steadfast belief in our village, each honoree has helped shape the Lyons we know and love.
Their impact can be seen in the strength of our neighborhoods, the vitality of our downtown, and the pride we share as neighbors. They give their time and energy not for recognition, but out of genuine care for this community.
To our Citizens of the Year, thank you for your passion and selfless commitment. Because of you, Lyons is stronger, more connected, and full of promise.
