Welcome to Macedon, NY

Overview Located in the southwest corner of Wayne County, Macedon borders Ontario County to the south and Monroe County to the west. The town of Macedon also includes a village of the same name. Macedon came about because of the Erie Canal; the town was incorporated in 1823, during canal construction, from what had been the western half of Palmyra. The village of Macedon is centered around Lock 30 on the canal, and, as such, is busy with boaters and tourists during the canal season. Macedon, like Lyons and Newark, has its own police department. The Palmyra-Macedon Central School District covers the area, and the two towns are frequently lumped together. One of the district’s schools – the Palmyra-Macedon Intermediate School – is in Macedon. Part of Gananda, a planned community that started with federal funding in the 1970s, is in Macedon. The town has a Walmart Super Store and a Lowe’s, as well as shops and restaurants in West Wayne Plaza on Route 31 and an additional shopping area on Main Street. There’s a movie theater complex, Canaltown Cinema, and a go-kart track and a winery in town. You’re only about nine miles from the village of Fairport in Monroe County, and 11 miles from Victor in Ontario County. Local Museums/Landmarks The Erie Canal is the big attraction here, and the town is part of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. Visitors can see an operating lock – a sort of “water elevator – in Macedon. The Macedon Academy is the home of the Macedon Historical Society. The Baker Cobblestone Farmstead and the Charles Bullis house are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
