This 1815 federal-style building was once the office of the Holland Land Company, which transacted land purchases when western New York was being settled. Today this National Historic Landmark building, which has 20-inch thick fireproof walls, houses exhibits which focus on Genesee County history. Permanent exhibits include a military display with artifacts from all major conflicts, including the Civil War. A Victorian parlor displays household items from the late 1800s. There is also an exhibit containing artifacts and history about the Seneca Indians; the Tonawanda Reservation is a short distance away from the museum. There is also a display on the land office itself, with many items belonging to Joseph Ellicott, who was the resident land office agent. - Christine A. Smyczynski
