About Genesee Country Village & Museum

This living history museum spans more than 600 acres in the Mumford hamlet, within the town of Wheatland. Visitors can walk through a re-created 19th-century village where historic trades, foodways, and gardens are demonstrated. The grounds also hold the John L. Wehle Gallery of sporting art, a nature center with trails, a carriage museum, a vintage baseball park, and heirloom gardens. Heritage animal breeds appear as part of the living history experience. The museum runs workshops, talks, special events, and classes throughout the year, and it marked a 50th season in its recent programming.
