Genesee Country Village & Museum is a 700-acre living history museum complex maintaining the the third largest collection of historic buildings in America.
Both Staff and volunteers wear period costumes and reenact activities of the period.
Gail and Jim showed me around the agricultural exhibit tent.
Here are examples of some of the many 19th-century vegetables, many of them unfamiliar to modern gardeners. I found the West Indian Gherkins (left) facinating.
Many heirloom apples grown in New York State were also on display.
Down the street at the Jones Farm (1820) they were using the traditional cheese press (pictured) to squeeze out the whey.
Pictured is a bucket of fresh cheese awaiting the press.
Unfortunately, the museum is not allowed to let guests sample the cheese they make.
At the nearby Kieffer's Place (1814) Deanna Berkemeier demonstrates the workings of a tradititional kitchen. Deanna is one of the museums main cooks. She and her husband operate a dairy farm of their own in Wyoming, New York. Deanna also makes award winning cheese.
One of the museums wonderful volunteers, John, demonstrates how apple cider was made using a period press.
The auger on the right shreds the apples which are then transferred to a buket which is placed under the press on the left. Cider pours down into the bassinet on the ground to the far left.
