Tucked into beautiful valley views in the Finger Lakes region of western New York is the small college town of Geneseo. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with plenty of things to do, this could be the perfect town for you. A bustling main street built into a town with a rich history is a great way to keep any visitor busy during a long weekend.
The first way to take in the history of Geneseo is by visiting the Wadsworth Homestead. Now primarily a wedding venue, this beautiful country manor estate has been owned by the same family since 1804.
If history and machines are your interest, you can't miss seeing the Geneseo Airport, home to the Historical Aircraft Group Museum. Here, you can see preserved aircraft from WWII, Vietnam, and the Korean War.
Main street in this quaint town is still bustling with shops and restaurants. Touch of Grayce is the perfect location to pick out gifts and trinkets to remember your trip by.
Staying on Main Street, you can't miss the most popular food spot for college students and town locals alike. Mama Mia's offers whole pizzas, or just pieces by the slice. If you arrive on a weekend evening, just expect a line out the door.
You'll probably want some exercise after filling up on pizza, so why not check out the first and only climbing gym in the county? Opened in 2020, they've already built quite the following.
Between learning about Geneseo’s history, shopping, eating well, and getting some exercise, this small town offers a great chance at a weekend getaway. Have you ever visited Geneseo in western New York? If so, we’d love to hear about your experience in the comments.
