Genesee County, New York
Genesee County sits in the heart of western New York, midway between Buffalo and Rochester. It’s a place where history and agriculture blend seamlessly. Batavia is the county seat and is home to the Holland Land Office Museum.
You can’t talk about Genesee without mentioning Jell-O. This is because the wiggly dessert was invented here. In fact, LeRoy, another notable town, boasts the Jell-O Gallery Museum.
While the county is crisscrossed by the historic Erie Canal, Six Flags Darien Lake is a major amusement park in the region. The area is known for its rich farmland and farmers markets. Genesee County Fairgrounds hosts events year-round, from demolition derbies to craft fairs.
