Welcome to Finger Lakes House Histories

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Finger Lakes House Histories was started in November of 2005 after a three year volunteer project with the Genesee Country Village and Museum. This museum, located outside of Mumford, NY is one of the largest living history museums in the US. The projects goal was to enhance the interpretation of three buildings at the museum owned by early Scottish immigrants to the Caledonia, NY area in the 1790-1830 time frame.

This was extremely interesting and covered the history of the buildings they were associated with but the families and the lives they led.

Now I am looking for those individuals with homes with character who would like to know more about there properties and the people associated with them.

I am also available to assist Preservation Architects, Museums and Historical Societies with research on properties that may need interpretive research, historical research to support

Structures report, or an Historical Society that needs or wants to know more about neighborhood or village property.

Please feel free to visit my site and don’t hesuitate to contact me if you think I maybe of help with your project.

Sincerely,

Rick Porter
