Among the buildings preserved in the Historic Village are Colonel Nathaniel Rochester's house and George Eastman's childhood home.We consider each of our historic buildings, historic gardens and farm landscapes (including domestic animal enclosures) an exhibit in and of itself. Trade, craft, cooking and agricultural demonstrations occur every day. Wherever possible, we strive to provide some opportunity for visitors to touch, use, smell or otherwise share the experience.Our educational programs served 26,930 students and chaperones during 2010 and included historic and nature-themed tours, classes and day camps for children ages 4-16; adult classes; and professional development programs for teachers. For school children and other groups, our Movable Museum educational programs offer education off-site. The Movable Museum programs served 1,450 youths and 900 adults during 2010.Our John L.

The Center features over five miles of hiking trails and 175 acres of wildlife habitat interpreted through signage. 2802096 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 23 0 200 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 28 27 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY X X Samantha Nickerson 5855386822 PO Box 310 1410 Flint Hill Road Mumford NY 145110310 Richard A Ash 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael T Tomaino 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan van der Stricht 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Janice G Ashley 1.00 X 0 0 0 David A Vasile 1.00 X 0 0 0 James D Barber 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth A Wehle 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Terryl S Butwid 1.00 X 0 0 0 Philip K Wehrheim 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sherman Farnham Jr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Janet S Welch 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard C Fox 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael R Whelan 1.00 X 0 0 0 John L Garrett Esq 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul T Wietig EdD 1.00 X 0 0 0 A Thomas Hildebrandt 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin D Kinney 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alfred F Luhr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel W Mahar 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael L McDougall 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gene O'Donovan 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica C Shanahan 1.00 X 0 0 0 William L Shaw 1.00 X 0 0 0 Clifford W Smith Jr PhD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gayle Stiles 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly F Jones 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kara S Maloney 1.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Arnold 40.00 X 141308 0 14498 Robert Titus Jan-Apr 20.00 X 14000 0 4835 Samantha H Nickerson May-Dec 40.00 X 52039 0 0 207347 0 19333 1 0 1 0 Upstate Roofing & Painting 1300 Brighton - Henrietta Townline Rochester NY 14623 Roofing & Painting - buildings in the Hi 138759 1 109457 23515 2798236 119110 2931208 Admission Fees 611710 701874 701874 Membership Dues 611710 158184 158184 Government Grants 611710 79022 79022 939080 130126 130126 68550 68550 68550 68550 7296489 874929 6702168 594321 874929 1469250 1469250 29395 109457 71087 -41692 -41692 25000 9980 15020 15020 470856 238279 232577 232577 Other Revenue 900099 35518 35518 35518 5779637 974598 0 1873831 226680 76497 96354 53829 1614782 1358885 136589 119308 38126 32126 3685 2315 172427 141336 16992 14099 133136 104377 16454 12305 9892 9892 14645 14645 49646 49646 340476 312642 23591 4243 123380 123256 124 282190 231875 42175 8140 147207 127357 19850 27174 21905 3009 2260 4173 2645 1498 30 20606 20606 167710 144885 22825 54284 46209 8075 Bad Debt 510000 510000 General Equipment 35095 30123 4972 Dues and Subscriptions 4173 3648 205 320 69923 44330 25593 4045725 2802096 1026656 216973 31329 62065 288220 1817877 939587 238980 26911 35301 144943 131290 35589 43497 6456575 4583554 1813722 1873021 9182323 8201506 9250482 9250482 21713106 21654019 223012 317689 223012 317689 X 15813234 16020356 1241770 719204 4435090 4596770 21490094 21336330 21713106 21654019 X 1733912 -1887676 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 3702424 2057430 1533032 1625206 2931208 11849300 3702424 2057430 1533032 1625206 2931208 11849300 3519400 8329900 151350 258432 300696 258656 198676 1167810 431802 176315 118579 109319 89913 925928 13943038 6722861 0.59740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 38827 9250482 X X 0 1853396 819 266414 195348 14939 1910342 2429718 200 482905 940591 12437 1959795 3754496 210742 -1071733 445716 18071 2429718 0.02250 0.97750 1 0 728443 728443 2884171 2566044 318127 2416718 2017510 399208 427243 427243 1873021 Museum Artifacts - Historic Building 3013934 Museum Artifacts - Building Contents 1525498 Museum Artifacts - Works of Art 4711050 9250482 5779637 4045725 1733912 112900 -2000576 -1887676 -153764 3851991 112900 9676 -49646 72930 3779061 2000576 2000576 5779637 4005755 9676 9676 3996079 49646 49646 4045725 Part III, Line 4: The Museum includes a collection of historic buildings, and an art gallery which serve to preserve the cultural, social, and architectural history of Western New York and the Genesee Valley Region for the education and enjoyment of the public. Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: Part V, Line 4: The Museum has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding for programs supported by these investments while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of those assets. These policies are applied to donor-restricted amounts as well as to amounts designated by the Board as quasi-endowments. As a result of NYS adoption of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, the organization has reviewed all of its endowment funds and has reclassified $106,399 beginning balance to unrestricted net assets from permanently restricted net assets as of December 31, 2010. Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X: The Internal Revenue Service has determined that The Museum is qualified as a charity exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and has also determined that the Museum is publicly supported. As a result, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been made. FASB ASC #740, Income Taxes, requires entities to disclose in their financial statements the nature of any uncertainties in their tax position. Tax years including 2007 and later are subject to examination by tax authorities. Areas that IRS and state tax authorities consider when examining tax returns of a charity include, but may not be limited to, tax-exempt status and the existence and amount of unrelated business income. The Museum does not believe that it has any uncertain tax positions with respect to these or other matters, and has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits or liability for penalties or interest. The Museum is not aware of any circumstances or events that make it reasonably possible that tax benefits may increase or decrease within 12 months of the date of these financial statements.
