RWS Connection at the Genesee Country Museum

Jim Altemus, whose woodworking favorites are canoes and Queen Anne tables, is a volunteer at the Genesee Country Village and Museum. The museum, located in Mumford, NY, is a living history museum. It is comprised of many historic homes and trades buildings from the Genesee region of western New York.

 

These historic buildings have been dismantled, relocated to the Genesee Country Village site, and restored in a village setting. Genesee Country Village is the third largest interpretive museum of its type in the United States. It spans the history of the first three quarters of the 19^th century, from early pioneer settlements in log cabins to elegant homes of Rochester area businessmen. The early home of George Eastman is one of the villages’ attractions.

Trades interpreted in the museum include blacksmithing, tinsmithing, printing, a wheelwright shop, coopering, and gunsmithing/cabinetmaking, among others.

 

Jim works in the cabinetmaker/gunsmith shop a couple of days a week. He demonstrates the use of antique hand tools in the building of period furniture, some for use in village buildings. The small table in the photo was made entirely in the shop with only old hand tools, and traditional hand cut joinery.

A family visit to Genesee Country can be a real treat if you haven’t had the opportunity to visit. More information about the Genesee Country Village and Museum can be found at http://www.gcv.org.
