The Genesee Country Village & Museum (GCV&M), located in the Town of Wheatland, is the largest and most comprehensive living history museum in New York State – and the third-largest in the United States. Its mission is to enrich life today by connecting people with history, art, and nature, through immersive and interactive experiences. The GCV&M was founded in 1966 with the goal of preserving the architecture of the Genesee Valley region in a recreated historic village, providing context for the telling of New York State and 19th-century American history.
