Livingston County Historical Society Museum
1838 cobblestone schoolhouse in Geneseo housing 200 years of Livingston County artifacts.
The Livingston County Historical Society Museum occupies an 1838 cobblestone schoolhouse in the heart of Geneseo, a contributing structure within the Geneseo National Historic Landmark District built on land donated by the Wadsworth brothers. The schoolhouse, originally designed in the shape of a Greek Cross, now holds 200 years of county collections across several rooms: Seneca Nation and earlier Native American artifacts, Wadsworth family objects and letters, military items spanning the Revolution through the 20th century, agricultural and household objects, antique toys, a Concord coach, and antique fire equipment including the relocated Willard Hose Building from the 1890s. Docents lead visitors through the galleries and a log cabin from 1895 still stands on the site as the society's first museum. Programming includes regular lectures and exhibits. Open seasonally, with limited hours. Don't miss: the Seneca artifacts room and the Willard Hose Building on the grounds.
