Spark your curiosity at Genesee Country Village & Museum - New York State's largest living history museum! Explore our 19th-century Historic Village, our John L. Wehle Gallery, and our Nature Center with 5+ miles of nature trails. Explore special events, daily historic happenings, kids camps, workshops, and more at www.gcv.org.

Genesee Country Village & Museum was founded in 1966 with the goal of preserving the architecture of the Genesee Valley region in a recreated historic village, providing context for the telling of New York State and 19th-century American history. The Museum now covers 600 acres and includes the Historic Village, the John L. Wehle Gallery, and the Genesee Country Nature Center, all of which provide interactive programs, fascinating exhibits, and special events to help you live and experience history.

GCV&M is the largest and most comprehensive living history museum in New York State – and the third-largest in the United States. Chartered as an educational institution by the NYS Board of Regents, the Museum offers opportunities to see, smell, taste, touch, explore, and experience our 68 historic buildings; more than 20,000 artifacts; wildlife paintings, drawings, and sculptures spanning centuries; the living collections in our gardens, on our working farm and at our Nature Center; and the gorgeous landscape that first brought settlers to this region.

GCV&M offers workshops for adults and families, plus kids classes and camps throughout the year!
