Help Us Tell Stories
Beginning in the 1840s, local nurseries shipped tons of trees, shrubs, and plants to other states. As nursery owners became wealthy, they invested in new, non-nursery industries, and donated money to community causes. North Presbyterian Church (now Faith Community
Church) on Genesee Street, the old YMCA on Castle Street, and William Smith College were founded by nurserymen.
Geneva’s nurserymen are some of the innovators profiled in our latest exhibit. Their story is part of Geneva’s rich and diverse history. Whether it is through programs, exhibits, collections, or online content we tell Geneva’s stories. To continue sharing these stories, we need your help, and we ask that you to contribute to our Fall Support Campaign.
