The 25 Things That Made Genesee County Famous
Genesee County, New York is a region rich with local history, folklore and people. Events, people, and locally made products from Genesee County are known world wide. For this online exhibit, a panel of 15 people spent six months sifting through 100s of things know world wide. It was the panel's job to come up with a list of 25 things that made Genesee County famous. Every week, until November 28, 2008 the Holland Land Office Museum will release another item.
Obviously, there will be debate and that is ok. Feel free to express your opinion on our blog.
