The Genesee River and nearby Conesus Lake lend to the town’s beautiful scenery in addition to an array of outdoor activities.
Geneseo contains a rich heritage dating back to the 18th century. Geneseo’s Main Street District is a testament to its extensive history, containing a 150-year-old library, a restored vintage movie theater, 19th-century houses, ornate churches, museums, galleries, shops, and restaurants. SUNY at Geneseo is the pride of Geneseo, contributing a variety of cultural and athletic events to the community.
