The homestead - erected in 1816 – is full of magnificently restored period rooms, original paintings and a room dedicated to the history of the Granger Place School, a private girls school that occupied the site between 1876 and 1906. The Carriage Museum at the back of the property displays almost 70 horse-drawn vehicles showing the history of 19th century transportation in western New York.
