Excerpt from History Genesee Annual Conference: From Its Organization by Bishops Asbury and M'kendree in 1810, to the Year 1884 This volume, prepared in compliance with the request of the Genesee Conference, is large enough. The writer has endeavored to make it smaller than larger. The labor of its preparation has been one of delicacy and difficulty, but at the same time, in some degree, a work of faith and love. The author has considered the tastes and reasonable expectations of the different classes of readers, but well understands that no one will find in the book every thing he might wish to see, while it is equally certain that every one will be gratified with many things he had not anticipated. Care has been taken in the preparation of the work to render due credit to the sources from which facts have been obtained. If the book shall be the means of inspiring in any minds confidence in Methodism as a form of vitalized Christianity, and especially if it shall aid the humblest reader in his progress heavenward, gratitude and glory will be due to God. To the members of Conference, and others, who have evinced a lively generous interest in its preparation, the volume is humbly affectionately inscribed.

Discover the history of the Genessee River in this interesting pictorial journey. One of the few rivers in the United States running south to north, the Genesee River was the result of the last great ice sheet that covered New York roughly 10,000 years ago. The Seneca Nation fished and hunted along the river, important to New York since the beginnings of time. In the early 1800s, it served as a source of waterpower for numerous industries. It provided water for early canals, and when the canals gave way to railroads, special sites along the river became popular destinations for entertainment. From the early 1800s, Ontario Beach Park was dubbed the Coney Island of the West, and in the late 1800s, trains brought scores of tourists to Letchworth for spectacular views of the canyon, falls, and wildlife. Today, a series of parks and hiking trails can be found up and down the river.

During his seven-month stay in a Trappist monastery, Henri Nouwen had a unique opportunity to explore crucial issues of the spiritual life and discover "a quiet stream underneath the fluctuating affirmations and rejections of my little world." Nouwen participated fully in the daily life of the Abbey of the Genesee in upstate New York -- in work and in prayer. From the early weeks in the abbey -- dominated by conflicting desires and concerns -- to the final days of Advent, when he finds a new sense of calm expectation, Nouwen never loses his critical honesty. Insightful, compassionate, often humorous, always realistic, The Genesee Diary is both an inspiration and a challenge to those who are in search of themselves. "The Genesee Diary beautifully lifts the heart and mind to God." --Christianity Today "This is an extraordinary account of a man seeking inner peace and total commitment to God... a fine portrait of cloistered life, a beautifully written account of one man's soul-searching." --Publisher's Weekly

Founded in 1966, Genesee Community College (GCC) is the product of a grassroots movement that culminated in a public referendum supporting the creation of a community college. The resulting institution has exceeded the most optimistic predictions of its early proponents. From its beginning in a converted department store with 367 students, GCC, part of the State University of New York, has grown to over 7,000 students studying in more than 60 different programs. The college is spread over four rural counties in Western New York. The main campus in Batavia and six satellite sites, plus distance learning opportunities, serve citizens living within a 2,400-square-mile service area. The GCC student body also includes students from elsewhere in New York State, out of state, and several other nations. Currently, there are over 150 international students. Committed to the dual goals of ready access and student success, the 50-year history of GCC is a story of dynamic achievement through innovative programs, workforce development, and community involvement.

Excerpt from The Archeology of the Genesee Country There are two sites which Show evidences that they were inhabited during the first intercourse between Senecas and Europeans. One of these, the Tram site, persisted seemingly so short a time afterwards that European articles are rare. A second, the Factory Hollow site, seems to have persisted for some time thereafter, and European articles, while not abundant, are not rare. The appearance of European articles on these sites estab lishes an approximate date for their occupancy. The Tram Site must have been inhabited for several years before 1615, and for a few years thereafter, say from 1600 until 1620. The Factory Hollow site would have been occupied by Senecas for a few years before 1615 and until several years thereafter, say from 1610 until 1630. The Tram site occupies the crest of a long, high hill, between Lima and Livonia. It was originally enclosed by a palisade and was thus essentially a typical Seneca hill-top fortified town. Large areas of its surface are deeply covered by refuse earth. Graves were found and excavated there by Mr. Arthur C. Parker. These graves and the refuse have yielded a limited number of articles of European manufacture and a much larger quantity of primitive artifacts.
