honeoye falls

the famous waterfall

Honeoye Falls is a small village of approximately 2400 people. The Village was founded in 1791 by Zebulon Norton who purchased 1820 acres of land for 12 1/2 cents per acre! Norton established the mode of life for the community by building a gristmill and later a sawmill to encourage settlers to this decidedly fruitful section of upper New York State.

From the time of the Seneca Indians residing in this vicinity, through the pioneer days, and into the present, Honeoye Falls, originally known as Norton Mills, has maintained a particularly family-oriented atmosphere in spite of the changing times.

Our home for a month. Gardens in the back and 3 acres! When we first arrived were were practically drinking in all of the green, lush scenery. Now we are getting used to it, but we still comment everytime we drive anywhere how beautiful this place is.

Property around the corner from us. We all love this, especially the pond, which we imagine how fun it would be to skate on in the wintertime.

We are located 15 minutes from my parents and a little longer from my sister's. Everytime we drive either place we get to take back roads. We are loving it here. After years of house trades and rentals, this is the best one yet.
