Strong schools and lower home prices in quiet Caledonia
The town of Caledonia offers a laid-back atmosphere and a relaxed pace of life in rural Livingston County. Home to about 5,000 people, the area includes the village of Caledonia and several smaller hamlets, featuring homes at a lower price than nearby Avon. “It’s very well-kept, and you could very easily go there and be able to see that it’s one of those areas where there’s a lot of pride,” says local Realtor Matthew Sharman with Empire Realty Group. Caledonia residents also have access to the highly Caledonia-Mumford Central School District. “They’ve had a long tradition of successful sports, particularly football. They’re still going strong,” Sharman says. The village is also home to the Caledonia Fish Hatchery, the first hatchery in the western hemisphere. Established in 1864, the hatchery is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There’s more adventure 20 miles away at Letchworth State Park, known for its scenic waterfalls and nearly 70 miles of hiking trails. Golfers have several nearby options, including Caledonia Country Club, which is open to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as LeRoy Country Club and Mill Creek Golf Club, both less than 10 miles away and open to the public. “There are great places for hunting and fishing in the whole area,” Sharman says. “A lot of people hunt on their friends’ or neighbors’ land or they have their own land.”

Genesee Country Village and Museum has seasonal events
In nearby Mumford, the 600-acre Genesee Country Village and Museum transports visitors back to 19th-century New York. “It’s a big draw for families and history buffs. It’s basically a living history site, and you can see how butter was churned or how a blacksmith worked,” Sharman says. “Sometimes they’ll do seasonal stuff, like if they’re making maple sugar or it’s Oktoberfest. It’s a step back in time.” The history of the area is also on display at Big Springs Museum, which hosts the annual Caledonia Trout Festival, a daylong event with live music, vendors, a beer garden and educational demonstrations, plus catch-and-release trout fishing pools overseen by the staff of the Caledonia Fish Hatchery.
