There's fun for every age at Genesee Country Village & Museum.

Founded in 1966 by John L. Wehle, Genesee Country Village & Museum was created to help preserve the vanishing rural architecture of the Genesee Country, an area encompassing the Genesee River and stretching from the Finger Lakes to the Niagara Frontier and Lake Erie. Today, this living history museum includes a 19th-century village, a gallery, a nature center and 600 acres of gardens and wildlife.

Experience the Museum or add on any of the great additional offers Genesee Country Village has!



General Admission: Explore our 68 buildings. Knowledgeable, costumed interpreters keep the hearth fires burning, the heirloom gardens flourishing and the livestock tended. Watch live demonstrations at the pottery, cooper shop, tinsmith and blacksmith. Smell the aroma of fresh baked pies and bread, roll the hoop with a stick, and test your balance on stilts. Children enjoy the 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. As you stroll the village, notice that you progress through three time periods… with lifestyles growing more sophisticated as time moves forward. Each building is an experience in and of itself!



VIP Experience: Receive exclusive access upstairs to two of our iconic Victorian houses, where the view of the whole village is breathtaking. A complimentary lunch at either of our 2 (two) restaurants as well as a pint of our 19th century beer, a glass of wine or our Flint and Steel Hard Cider are also included in this experience. At any point throughout your visit, be sure to stop by the Tin Smith and try your hand at making your own pierced tin ornament to take home with you! On your way out you will find a sweet treat waiting for you at the gift shop. This offer also includes 15% off in both of our gift shops.



General Admission + Beer Tasting: While exploring the historic village, be sure to stop up at our Depot restaurant to try a pint of our 19th century beer, or hard cider! We offer an authentic 19th recipes which have created our Intrepid Ale, our 1803 Fat Ox Ale as well as our Flint and Steel hard cider. Some of the local’s favorites! Not a beer drinker? Try a glass of our local wine instead!



General Admission + Garden Tour: GCV&M is home to a variety of gardens. From farm to table experiences, heirloom gardening and eating what you grow, you will learn of the historically accurate ways that gardeners and farmers took care of their crops, and what interesting ways they used these day-to-day in the 19th century!



General Admission + Tin Tapping: Visit the tinsmith as he shares some of his shiny wares as well as the tools he uses to make different objects, specifically the tin ornament! You will not only watch the process but pick out a pattern to try it for yourself - then bring your 19th century, hand-made tin ornament home with you!



General Admission + Sweet Treat: The village is full of freshly baked goods, candy and our freshly made fudge! While exploring the museum, be sure to stop by the gift shop on your way out to pick up a freshly made 19th century sweet treat!



General Admission + Photo Op with the Farmer: Meet our Farmers who are hard at work every day on the Pioneer Settlement. Feeding and caring for all of the animals, including our 4 working Oxen, is a full time job! It’s more than a photo opportunity - Take a moment to document experiencing this way of living, and seeing these phenomenally animals who are just as large as they are obedient!
