Renovation Updates

Many of you may have noticed some signs of construction going on at the museum. The museum is getting a bit of a facelift, to make significant improvements. Genesee County has begun a restoration project at the historic Holland Land Office facility in Batavia. The work will help maintain and preserve the County-owned building while addressing several exterior, interior, and building-system needs.

The project includes:
• Masonry and stone veneer repair, repointing and restoration
• Restoration of the roof, exterior trim, portico, fascia and columns
• Repairs to windows, doors and other exterior building components
• Interior finish work, including plaster repair and painting
• Updates to HVAC, restrooms and life-safety systems

Construction is underway and will be completed in phases through fall 2026 and spring 2027.

We will continue to give updates on the project as it moves through the phases. The museum is still open to the public, but going forward, there will be times when the museum will be closed while work is happening. Immediate updates will be given when those times are known, along with any other pertinent information.
