Six blocks of locally quarried red sandstone buildings from the 1870s to 1917, fifteen of them on the National Register, and most still in everyday use.
Check current hours on the business’s own page.
Main Street is US 36 for six blocks, with the hogback closing the view at the west end. The buildings are the point: fifteen structures of locally quarried Lyons sandstone are listed together on the National Register of Historic Places, and most are still shops, kitchens and offices. Walk it end to end in twenty minutes; High Street, a block north, has the coffee, the wine bar and the museum. Pick up the walking-tour leaflet at the visitor center.

- Lyons history: sandstone, the railroad and the river
A quarry town at the mouth of two canyons, built of the rock it dug, cut off by its river once a century, and rebuilt each time by the people who live here. The short history, with each claim resting on a source.
