Step back into a living, working 19th-century country village.  Explore over 60 historic buildings faithfully restored to their original glory.  Meet knowledgeable costumed interpreters who keep the hearth fires burning, the heirloom gardens flourishing, and the livestock tended.

You’ll hear the clanging of the blacksmith’s hammer, smell the aroma of fresh baked pies and bread, roll the hoop with the stick, test your balance on the stilts and otherwise truly experience life in a 19th-century American country village.  Be sure to catch live demonstrations at the pottery, cooper shop, tinsmith and more.  Children especially love our one-room schoolhouse and the 19th-century games they can play on the village square.  You might even decide to try your hand at making a punched tin ornament.

We offer educational programs & classes for school and homeschool groups.  The Historic Village is open for guided tours in early May/late October and self-guided tours/focused field studies from mid-May through mid-October, Tuesday through Friday.  To schedule a program, please call (585) 538-6822 x218.

The Nature Center is open for scheduled programs throughout the school year.  For exact dates, please call (585) 538-6822 x218.  You may schedule your visit for Tuesday through Friday unless otherwise noted.  We also offer adult classes, day camps & scouting programs.  For interesting news and features about the village, visit our blog.
