Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum

An 1816 Federal-style mansion and one of the largest 19th-century carriage collections in the country, three blocks from the Ontario County Courthouse

Ontario County

The Granger Homestead at 295 North Main Street in Canandaigua was built in 1816 for Gideon Granger, who served as the third Postmaster General of the United States under both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the longest tenure in the office's early history. The Federal-style mansion holds original furnishings across two stories with guided tours of the house and grounds. The carriage museum in the outbuildings holds one of the most extensive collections of 19th-century horse-drawn vehicles in the northeastern United States: coaches, sleighs, formal carriages, and working farm equipment spanning the period from the early republic through the beginning of the automobile era. The Granger Homestead also hosts the Festival of Trees in December and a Christkindl Market in winter. Open May through October; guided tours available.
