Regular admission is for a single day only.

If you have a question, I would be happy to answer it as best I can.

We recommend you plan to spend the whole day, or even two days to see the entire campus, though some folks come for as short a time as a couple hours and may only visit select houses, or visit just the gallery or nature center, not even making it into the historic village itself. You should be able to see a good number of places if you plan for a minimum of 4 hours, but you will not be able to see the entire historic village in that time so best to use the website and decide ahead what you want to see the most. We are open from 10am to 4pm, though on a few special event Saturdays we are open until 5pm. There are 68 historic homes and businesses to explore. On weekdays you will usually find 20-22 costumed interpreters to converse with. On weekends or special events there can be upwards of 32 costumed folks to talk with.

I am not sure what link you mean, but if you need a lift while visiting GCV&M and the trolley is not running, you need only ask a staff person and they will call someone to assist you.

Hours of operation are as follows: note that the museum is closed on Mondays, and also on Tuesdays after September 10. GCVM is open 10 am-4 pm Tues-Sun, May 7-Sept 4 plus Wed-Sun, Sept 10-Oct 9 & May 30, July 4, Sept 5 & Oct 10 In mid-September, the village is still fully staffed with costumed interpreters. The trolley runs on weekends during the May-October season from 12 pm - 4 pm. On special event days, the trolley runs from 10 am - 4 pm. Available for use by all guests. After October 10 the regular season ends, and there are special events, like October ghost walks,and December "Yule Tide in the Country," where select buildings are open to demonstrate changes in Christmas traditions that developed throughout the 19th century, and costumed interpreters lead visitors through a prepared script. Timing your tour for twilight hours, when buildings are illuminated by candlelight, adds a special flavor to the experience! Check their website for more info about the 3 restaurants on site, events and programming, and planning your visit. Coming from Pennsylvania, if you're looking for a place to stay, you might consider the Genesee Country Inn Bed & Breakfast in Mumford, NY, which is located just down the road from the museum. There are also a number of great hotels or B&Bs in the greater Rochester area. I hope you have a wonderful visit!

The roadways are gravel. There are a couple sections with a brick walk and a plank walkway section, but for the most part you would travel on the gravel roadways. About 20% of the buildings in the historic village are handicapped accessible, as well as the John L Wehle Gallery which houses the Susan Greene Historic Clothing Collection, the current exhibit "Gone Fishin'" and the "Forty and Fabulous" exhibit of recent acquisitions. The Depot Restaurant and the Pavilion Garden Restaurant are also accessible.
