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 sculpture 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. Being one of the most unique wedding venues in the Great Rochester area, Genesee Country Village & Museum provides a wedding location unlike any other. Our 19th-century Historic Village offers both historic churches and stunning outdoor venues for your ceremony, paired with our unforgettable reception spaces including two romantic, rustic barns, as well as our recently updated banquet center.
