Bring your families and join your friends at the historic Willow Bend Inn, the oldest building in the Town of Batavia, the original stagecoach stop between Buffalo and Rochester, for an afternoon of music, food, door prizes, silent auction, and lots of fun! All to benefit the Holland Land Office Museum.
Cost is $5 per adult, children are free! A variety of food and snacks (with a full bar!) will be available, including hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, mac salad, French onion soup, chicken wings, French fries, and chicken fingers.

Meet the people waiting for the stagecoach--they will give you the history of the building and tell you what it's like to travel by stagecoach in the 1800's.
Everyone is Welcome! We hope to see you there! |

"The old Land Office is a common reminder of all the grandfathers and great grandfathers of Western New York. Their frequent pilgrimages to the Land office was a feature of their lives, They viewed again and again it's sturdy walls; they stepped in and out again overs it's threshold that they found in the center of all of their interests, the topic of much of their discourse. It was to them a social, religious and political headquarters, while they felled the trees and let the sunlight down through the woods to invite production in the fertile soil." --John Kennedy, 19th century scholar

GRAND OPENING - BICENTENNIAL EXHIBIT

This Saturday, January 31st at 1:00 pm, the Holland Land Office Museum is celebrating its Bicentennial Year with the opening of a brand new exhibit that showcases our 200 year history. This event marks the beginning of a year-long series of events and exhibits. Please visit our Facebook page to stay up to date on all museum activities!
Light refreshments will be served. FREE ADMISSION! All are welcome!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Genesee County Museum building, The Holland Land Office, is preparing to celebrate its Bicentennial in 2015.
As part of the 200th anniversary celebration the creation of a time capsule has been planned with help from Board Member James R. Owen who was involved in the Redfield Parkway Time Capsule that took place in 2012.
Suggestions from the community about the items to be included in the time capsule are being sought. Items that will be considered for encapsulation are photos, newspapers, and event programs, as well as small objects such as campaign buttons, award ribbons and medals that pertain to Genesee County and its people.
The county time capsule will be opened in the year 2065 to coincide with the 150th Anniversary of the City of Batavia, the Genesee County seat.
For more information please contact The Holland Land Office Museum at 585-343-4727 orinfo@hollandlandoffice.com
People interested in volunteering with the Bicentennial events or at the county museum are welcome to contact Museum Director Jeff Donahue.
