Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum

Gideon Granger served as the longest serving Postmaster General of the United States, and the Federal-style mansion he built in Canandaigua in 1816 is still standing — saved from demolition in 1945 by a private donor whose carriage collection became the seed of the museum founded in the 1960s. The property remained in the Granger family for four generations. The carriage museum holds a large collection of antique horse-drawn vehicles across two barns.
