I’ve been using your site for many years to explore Rochester and the surrounding area with my family. Reading this gave me a list of things I still need to do and reminded me of favorites I want to return to. This will be amazing for residents, new ones, those who have been here for ages, and visitors to the region.*

This book is a godsend for our bed and breakfast guests at Kettle Ridge Farm. I know this because they are eager to share their findings and experiences with us.*
