Uncover hometown history this fall

Autumn in Western New York is a beautiful time to explore history in your hometown. From the standardization of the foot as a unit of measurement to William Pryor Letchworth and his efforts to preserve Letchworth State Park, the GLOW Region’s history runs deep throughout the hills and valleys.

By visiting local historical sites in the Genesee Valley such as the Holland Land Office Museum; the Genesee Country Village & Museum and the National Warplane Museum in Livingston County; the Cobblestone Museum in Orleans County; and the William Pryor Letchworth Museum in Wyoming County, history buffs and beginners gain access to learning about how the region grew to gain its narrative, the small and tall tales, and the folklore it holds today.
