About Valentown Museum

Valentown Museum, originally called Valentown Hall, sits in a cluster of 19th century buildings at Valentown Square in Victor, New York. Two local brothers built the four-story hall in 1879 as a shopping plaza and community center. The Victor Grange then met there for more than thirty years. The building has kept much of its original look and holds a Grange meeting room, a co-op general store, shops, and a third-floor ballroom. Its exhibits show handmade American goods and family heirlooms from the Fishers and Victor area near Rochester. The museum is run entirely by volunteers and is owned by the Victor Historical Society. Guided tours involve stair climbing, and access beyond the first floor is limited.
