My family greatly enjoyed our experience at the Smith Family Farm. Whether you are a member of the LDS faith or not, walking through the restored Smith farm, which was a jumping off point for one of America's most enduring religious movements, is educational and insightful. The Mormon missionaries who guide you through the sites are respectful and considerate. You will have as much time as you want to go through everything. My family particularly enjoyed spending time in what Mormons refer to as the sacred grove.

Right up there with Nordstrom's in service and selection. Wife just came back and couldn't stop talking about the service people. She also bought a very expensive shawl, but the whole thing was worth it. Can't understand why the other places have forgotten that service sells. Great store, we'll be back.

Stopped by on a beautiful, unseasonably warm day and it was wonderful! A beautiful place with lots of shady spots, picnic tables, parking, seating, etc...everything one needs to enjoy a great day in or around the water. Loved seeing all of the folks swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. If I lived here, I would be at Kershaw Park all the time, year-round.
If I could make one suggestion, however, it would be wonderful if there were some food trucks or carts here where one could grab something to eat. I think they would be a huge hit!

We visited last week. Unfortunately, the gardens are past their prime for the season. We had a very nice time here, but came away wishing they had more funds available to finish renovating the house and gardens. The young man volunteering that day was very knowledgeable. All in all, I would certainly recommend a visit. Very interesting.

The new Seneca Art & Culture Center is an interactive, interpretive facility at Ganondagan telling the story of the Seneca and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) contributions to art, culture and society for more than 2,000 years to the present day. The gift shop features beautiful Seneca and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) art, jewelry, basketry, clothing, and our heirloom Iroquois White Corn products. A 17th-century bark longhouse replica (open May- Oct) reflects the life of the Seneca people who once lived here. Three marked ethno-botanical and historical trails invite you to walk and learn more about us. Heirloom gardens and fields of native grasses are contemporary reminders of the land's origins. Our festivals and special events share the culture of our people through dance, music, arts, sports, storytelling and other Iroquois traditions. Visit Ganondagan to discover the living culture and natural world of the Seneca people at their historic Town of Peace.

I was surprised to find such a modern structure sitting in the midst of rolling farmland/hills here in Victor. While I am not sure if this type of structure fits with the natural surroundings or acts as a tribute to the Iroquois/Ganondagan, I was impressed and most definitely appreciated the fact that the structure is set within the earth so as it tries to blend in with the natural contours of the land. The museum is not large - it can be covered in about an hour or so. The exhibits are exceedingly informative and well thought out. There are numerous interactive exhibits which I enjoyed as well. There is a traditional Iroquois long house situated up the hill at the rear of the museum. This is an excellent recreation. There are several hiking/walking trails surrounding the museum. The museum staff was very friendly and was always available to provide additional information. I'd like more people to know about this museum so they can understand about the culture of a people who lived here long before Europeans arrived.

10. Ontario Mall Antiques

Reviewed By Terry B - Bath, New York
Put aside at least two hours when you visit this antique mall. The range of offerings is from small collectibles to large furniture pieces. The quality runs from schlock to fine. Almost any kind of collectible or antique you might consider is probably here, even if it is tucked in a corner. You just have to look for it.
We never leave without at least one purchase, if not many.
