We have been to a number of pioneer type villages but this would rank as one of the best. Three different eras that had an authentic feel . The costumed interpreters really added to the experience. Leave at least two to three hours to see everything. It was worth the four hour drive the night before to see this.

I remember coming here on field trips as a child and GCVM has this mystical appeal. As an adult, it is not quite a magical, but I still find it entertaining. We took our daughter (4 years old) for the first time this year and she liked it.There is a lot of walking and I was disappointed with the number of rooms that were not available for the public to view in some of the houses. But it is still a very fun and educational experience.The volunteers do a great job of demonstrating and explaining life in the 1800s.Definitely worth going to, at least once.

This was actually my first time visiting and it was for a wedding. The area is just absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to walk around and look at everything. The life in the 1800's is very interesting to learn about. I will definitely be returning so I can spend the entire day roaming through the villages and will be bringing my daughter with me. The barns for weddings are beautiful, very old fashioned style. Food that was catered was just absolutely delicious! All of the staff working were wonderful, so friendly and attentive!

I have lived in upstate NY my whole life and had never been here before. What a amazing place...should have went sooner. I loved the old houses..and the people dressed in period clothing. There also is a old time baseball game you can watch. Wonderful time..will go back again.

My wife and I brought our 9 yr old granddaugther to visit Genesee Country Museum. It was wonderful overall. She loved the homes and the actors depicting the 1800's population in terms of dress, conversation, things they did, etc. One could eaisly spend 4 hours there....a day there would be adequate. It's like a live history lesson yet a fun recreational/social experence.They had a restaurant there and I must say it was great...and those sweet potato fries were the best I have ever had anywhere.Great employee's whether actors, maintenance workers, restuarant workers, ticket agent, etc. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone at any age.

It is a great place to take anyone. From young kids, to older adults. It is a Summertime place. Not open from Oct. through winter but it is a wonderful adventure to learn about the 1700's up through the 1920's. A working village where you get to hear the history and see the craftsmen/women working and teaching you what they did back then. Love this place.

I'm sure that plenty of others have reviewed this place. It had been about 8 years since I last visited but certainly it has not changed for the worse. Well kept and always interesting with pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth a visit. Plan to spend at least 3 or more hours visiting. Great for kids of all ages.

A gem in the wilderness of Western New York. Enjoyed a Fall visit to the Genesee Country Village and Museum. Definitely worth the price of admission. A week early before the Agriculture Celebration. The Village gets little advertisement if any support from New York State. The buildings are all transplants, but very interesting to say the least. People are dressed in the fashion of the times. The gent in the farm area is interesting to listen to as is the tinsmith, who enjoys talking to kids about history. The Print show is also educational. There was also a baseball game in play with old time rules. Worth seeing.The streets/roads are gravel and there are no sidewalks except near the main gate. The buildings in most cases are handicap oriented. The buildings could use some love and more should be done to keep their historical nature intact. The grounds are well maintained, however. There is a picnic area, if you want to pack a picnic basket. In addition, there is a Wendy's and a restaurant on site. A hotdog stand is located further into the property. Agriculture Days are also, worth seeing with local vendors present in the main field. This is truly a good day to visit, with all the excitement it brings with the chickens, rabbits, geese and ducks.I would be remisce, if I did not mention the Intrepid Civil War ballon & exhibit. You can actually go up in a tethered balloon to 225 feet for an additional fee.. Might be worth the price for the adventurous. The man who explains the balloon usage during the Civil War is enlightening. Enjoy the sights, smells and the walk.

I haven't visited this museum in quite a few years. My daughter and I went this summer and loved it just as much as we used to. It seems a little bigger than last time we were there. We were a little disappointed that some of the buildings were closed though. This is a nice place to spend an afternoon strolling the grounds and exploring the buildings. We ate at a little cafe onsite and the food was very good.

When we pulled up we initially thought the place was closed, as there were so few cars there. I think there were more staff than there were visitors the day we were there. That is one of the beauties of visiting in late September. We very much enjoyed the wonderful art museum and the galleries of authentic period clothing. A beautiful young woman took us on an hour tour of the history of women's fashions. We visited about 6 different homes with a woman in each site with a different period dress on. My wife loved this tour. The buildings, grounds, flowers are immaculate. We had a very nice chicken salad for lunch at their restaurant. We were there about 4 hours and wished we could have stayed longer. The site is a real jewel. It takes some circuitous driving to get there but it is well worth it. We learned a tremendous amount about life in the early 1800s. I highly recommend visiting here if you are in the area visiting LDS historical sites around Palmyra.
