Genesee Country Village & Museum, Mumford

We went to check out the Maple Fest activities. They had a maple trail that we started at the Sugar House where a very informative demonstration of modern day syrup making was being done. You need to remember this is an educational arena. From there you walked the trail and at different stops along the way were syrup methods of the time, starting with the 1800s. Each stop was informative and really interesting to see how methods changed over time. From there we enjoyed some snacks and set out into the village. Some of the buildings were open for you to explore. Others weren't because it's still off season, but you could look through windows. There were some demonstrations in several places. We saw how wooden buckets were made back in the 1800s and a blacksmith showed how he made decorative iron pieces. Saw some farm animals, the lambs were a hit with the grandchildren. It's a very interesting place. Will be going back once they open for the summer.

Having our wedding here in September!!! Overall it's gorgeous. We used to come here as kids and it's always a great time. Tammy is an amazing coordinator and really works to make everything perfect. Being around such beautiful buildings is so cool. They are such a cool community and I'm so happy we have this beautiful area in Rochester.
