Today
Rochester is the World's Image Center, home of such technological giants as Eastman
Kodak, Bausch & Lomb and the birthplace of the Xerox. Kodak founder George
Eastman's House is now home to the International Museum of Photography. The
pioneer days are not forgotten, however, at the Genesee County Village near Mumford (left). Here you can return
to the more peaceful rhythms of the 19th Century and interact with characters
dressed in period costume who stroll among the beautifully restored buildings.
The village also features a Nature Center and a Gallery of Sporting Art. Wayne
and Orleans County are still largely rural, and the moderating influence of Lake
Ontario allows many fruit orchards to blossom near the shoreline. Harvest
festivals of every variety are a top attraction here. The lake itself is a
mecca for serious fishermen, with many contests throughout
the season. |
