About Ames

Tucked into southern Montgomery County, Ames is a tiny, quiet rural village with fewer than 150 residents. Located right along Route 10, it sits conveniently between Canajoharie and Sharon Springs, offering open space and peaceful country living within an easy drive of local shops and the Thruway. The community has a charming historic feel, marked by 19th-century architecture and the old Ames Academy building, making it a great fit for anyone seeking a slower pace in the Mohawk Valley.
