ABOUT
Genesee Country Village & Museum
Step back in time on a field trip to the Genesee Country Village & Museum (GCV&M), a living, working 19th-century historic country village. The village’s Pioneer Settlement includes the Col. Nathaniel Rochester House, Pioneer Farmstead, Blacksmith Shop, Quaker Meeting House, Schoolhouse, and more. In the Gas Light District, groups can tour the Davis Opera House, Hamilton House, and Hyde House. Center Village features Brooks Grove Methodist Church and Parsonage, Flint Hill Pottery, the Confectionary, and many other buildings. Knowledgeable costumed interpreters keep the hearth fires burning, the gardens growing, the livestock tended, and the blacksmith’s forge a-glowing! Students, scouts, and homeschoolers can learn about 19th-century New York at the village and museum through tours, hands-on programs, and events.

FUN FACTS
Two hundred thousand Civil War soldiers were boys no older than 16, and an estimated 300 women were brave enough to disguise themselves as men and fight in the war. The average soldier weighed only 145 pounds due to poor diet, long marches, disease, and tough living, and earned between $13-$16 per month. Reading about these facts is interesting, but actually living them makes the information come alive. Living History Centers can allow students to experience how people lived during important historical eras, including enlisting as a soldier during the Civil War.
