Kick off the holiday season at GCV&M!

Get into the holiday spirit when you visit Genesee Country Village & Museum on Saturday, November 18, and Sunday, November 19, our Holiday Market & Preparing for Winter in the Historic Village! Prepare for winter yourself by shopping the Holiday Market, and see how Western New Yorkers prepared for winter in the 19th century. The perfect family activity to kick off the holiday season! 

Take part in 19th-century winter ready-making

Stroll through the Historic Village where preparations are underway for the snowy season ahead. Explore historic homes, warm up beside a hearth, enjoy roasted chestnuts, and more! From preserving food to preparing warm garments, there’s much to be done around the Historic Village this November. Make sure to pay a visit to Hosmer’s Inn to enjoy the aromas of smoking meats in the Smoke House and sausage-making in the basement kitchen, blacksmithing, candle making, and so much more.

Visitors can join guest cultural educator Tonia Galban for a hands-on activity corn cake making, see blacksmithing, lard rendering, wood carving, making winter clothes, sampling of historic foods like mincemeat pies, learn about maple sugaring, and more. 

Shop a cheerful Holiday Market

Shop hand-crafted and locally-produced goods at our Holiday Market. From a multitude of art, food, and gift vendors representing the very best from Western New York, and just in time for seasonal gift-giving! Visitors can peruse unique gift items and village-made goods in the Flint Hill Store.

Warm up with a cup of tea!

Join us in Hosmer’s Inn for a teahouse on both days of our Holiday Market & Preparing for Winter event! Enjoy both hot and iced varieties of tea, as well as a crowd favorite – our 1-2-3-4 cake! 

Give back: Thanksgiving-themed Can Drive for Cameron Community

When you join us for Holiday Market & Preparing for Winter, please plan to bring one or two non-perishable food items to help contribute to a local family’s Thanksgiving Dinner. (Think, gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, beans, etc.!) We’ll be collecting non-perishable donations in large bins in our Admissions Tunnel and will deliver your generous donations straight to Cameron Community. Thank you! 

Take a family photo!

Find a number of adorable seasonal sets to take a winter family photo as you explore the Historic Village! This year visitors will enjoy seasonal selfie stations at the Post Office and the Law Office.
