The Roycroft Campus
The Roycroft Campus, located in East Aurora, New York, stands as the most intact and comprehensive collection of structures that represent the “guilds” which emerged as hubs of artisanship and philosophical thought in the late 1800s. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark district in 1986, the Campus boasts nine of the initial 14 buildings, such as the Inn, Chapel, Print Shop, Furniture Shop, and Copper Shop.
