For nostalgia fans, there is no better way to spend a weekend than to visit Jamestown, New York, and immerse yourself in the life, times and memories of America’s “Queen of Comedy,” Lucille Ball.
Lucy was born in Jamestown on Sunday, Aug. 6, 1911. She called several addresses “home” during her early years in Jamestown, but began her journey to stardom after moving to New York City in the 1920s. Lucy never forgot her Western New York hometown, even after she was Hollywood royalty and a beloved American entertainment icon. Her legacy can be found all over the Jamestown area, and this is why the city welcomes thousands of visitors each year, all of them coming to say, “I Love Lucy.”
