The Cobblestone Museum is the main attraction in the hamlet. It also happens to be the only attraction. The Cobblestone Society was formed in 1960 to preserve the First Universalist Church, which was in danger of permanent deterioration. The church, schoolhouse, and the Ward House—the first three components of the complex—together constitute a National Historic Landmark, the Cobblestone Historic District. A standard guided tour includes these three buildings, and takes 1½-2 hours. The other buildings were added over time but are equally worth visiting.
The Cobblestone Historic District is located along state highway NY 104 in Childs, New York, United States. It comprises three buildings that exemplify the cobblestone architecture developed to a high degree in the regions of upstate New York near Lake Ontario and exported to other areas with settlers. It is the location of the Albion-based Cobblestone Society's Cobblestone Museum.
