Price: $15 per adult and $5 for students. Reserve and pay online in advance through the website. Service: our docent Nick was fantastic, personable and knowledgeable. We started in the Visitor Center (which was Susan's sister's house) and the went next door and saw all three floors of Susan's house. It was quite big! Parking: there is a free lot next to the Visitor's Center. Tip: her cemetery is not far so we drove past it too. Don't forget to tip your docent for all their hard work!

Even with the abbreviated version of the tour I learned so much!! It was so nice to see how they restored the house to match the photos and to see and feel the tour guides passion while giving the tour. I'm glad I made the last minute decision to go, it was such a unique to Rochester experience.

Among others, the Mount Hope Cemetery is the final resting place of women's rights activist Susan…read moreB. Anthony (1820-1906) and abolitionist Frederick Douglass (1817-1895). It is 196 acres in size and contains some 350,000 interments. It was founded in 1838. The cemetery is very drivable (at low speed, of course) and that's a good thing as the more famous graves are some distance apart. Please be respectful when you visit - it is an active cemetery and there are people here laying family members to rest. [Review 1523 of 2024 - 439 in New York - 22546 overall]

There is lot to observe including grave sites of well known Rochester residents such as Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass.

Henrietta is the heart and soul of all things ethnic and delicious in this area and I actually really like it. It's bad for traffic and it doesn't seem like it's much different to Amherst NY (part of Buffalo) in some ways - but it does have some great restaurants from all kinds of places in the world and I definitely enjoy it here. Go to Cha Chat Cafe, try Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Try Lemon Black Tea at Kung Fu Tea. Try Roti Canai at Coco Garden (Malaysian). Try Yuk Gae Jang at Seoul House and Sodam. Try Joe's Brooklyn Pizza. Try a White Hot and a Ground Round at Schaller's. Try Gelati (cherry and vanilla) at Rita's. By then you'll be swole, in a tummy sense.

The majority of this consumer mecca is Jefferson Rd and W Henrietta Rd. There's also little gems of things to do like go catch a $2 movie at Movies 10, see some live country music at the Roost, and so on. Henrietta is Rochester's most popular suburb and has a great night life. It's also home to R.I.T (Rochester Institute of Technology). Which was originally in downtown Rochester but moved to the southern part of Henrietta in 1968 (I suppose technically making it the South Henrietta Institute of Technology or S.H.I.T). Despite being a bit of a college town and having hundreds of businesses there are plenty of nice quiet safe neighborhoods outside the main streets in Henrietta where anyone would love to live. Besides being located right by I-90 between the city of Rochester and miles and miles of open farmland to the south, it's also a quite affordable place to live. If it wasn't for the cold weather and the lack of sunshine throughout the year Henrietta would be nearly perfect.

Fairport is a beautiful little wooded village with lovely swamp lands, marshes, and nature walks, just to the east of Rochester. You would think that you were a million miles away from a major city especially in the summertime, although it can get a little brutal in the winter time. Look out for the police cuz they are typical small-town police. At least the ones I've had the misfortune of interacting with, are.

Take the stairwell or elevator to the ground floor to enter the library. Once you're inside, you'll forget you're in a retail plaza. This was my first time here and I noticed large sections for children and teens, a quiet room, a nice selection of foreign films, a whole shelf of Hallmark movies, five big shelves of large print books for those of us with bad eyesight, and a lot of comfy places to sit. You can even check out a tote bag to bring your items home! If you walk by the library on the canal side, you can see in to the cozy reading area where the windows are lined with books. This is a welcoming and well stocked library that I will definitely return to.

I enjoy this library for the materials but also for the wonderful events they host. This year I attended a very informative lecture on mushroom and foraging. Most recently I attended a book signing and talk with Best selling author Shelby Van Pelt. The event was quite large with 400 people in attendance but the staff did a great job setting everything up and running smoothly. Shelby Van Pelt gave an engaging lecture followed by audience Q&A. We had time afterwards to get our books signed and meet the author. The library also had complimentary water and cookies to end the evening. One of my favorite libraries in the area. I hope there will be more events to come.
