Family-friendly, affordable fun! Throughout the year the center has fun events- candlelit tours at Christmas for example. If your in the area, check this place out!

This historical mansion has been made into a museum. The furnishings alone can keep one gawking for hours, then theres the artwork. The first building houses a geneology research center. Theyre also doing a veterans registry and have a monthly veterans meet up.

Had a great tome as usual. Its a huge beuatiful home full of local history be longing to at one time give her Reuben Fenton. If youve never been and youre local or are interested in our local history its a must see. Make sure to make your way up to the observation tower overlooking Brooklyn Square.

Absolutely LOVE touring the Fenton. Its great for anyone wanting to learn about the local history. While their everyday tours are great, I especially love their Christmas season tours. They decorate the museum (house) beautifully. The Fenton also has a library for anyone wanting to read local history books. I highly recommend visiting.

Of the dozen or so historical societies Ive known, FHCs staff of volunteers are the most dedicated and helpful one could possibly find.

I was there years ago. Remember it slightly, but fondly. Looked at website today as I had some recollection (apparently faulty!) that Fenton Glass was somehow connected to Jamestown. I lived I Sherman from 1996 to 2012 when our burnt down. We lived in Jtown for most of the remainder of 2012. Then back to Rochester, where we retain fond memories of our years in the Southern Tier.

A local treasure with a lot of local and national historical value for Jamestown as well as New York State as a whole. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Jamestowns past as a furniture manufacturing capital of the nation.
