Country Village

 

About the Village

Our Country Village has historical buildings and exhibits throughout its grounds. It has hosted events for over four decades, celebrating the community and its substantial history.

The village is open twice a year to the public for our Apple festivals, and for private rentals from May-October. Private tours are available with reservations: call 716-390-9679 (tours are led by a guide; available buildings vary).
