History
From 19th-century cooking and baking to historic trades, lifeways, and skills, and farm animals and agriculture, there’s something for everyone in the Historic Village!
Looking for something new to GCV&M? Join us for our new “Toward Freedom & Fairness” tour at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday to hear the stories of real people who played a part in Genesee Country’s complicated history of enslavement and freedom.
Plus, watch America’s favorite past time, Men’s and Ladies Vintage Base Ball, most Sundays and some Saturdays at GCV&M from June – October! Grabe a hot dog and a locally crafted beer at the Concession Stand, then sit back for some old-time entertainment. Become a member and attend all base ball matches for FREE!

Nature
Take a hike on 5+ miles of Nature Trails to explore nature’s antiques – fossils! Then on Saturday and Sunday, grab a pair of binoculars and play bird bingo, read a nature-themed story in Genesee Country Nature Center’s cozy corner, meet our resident turtles, and visit with a Naturalist.
Food & Beverage
