The Granger Homestead is a 1816 mansion on Main Street in Canandaigua, NY. It is open to the public for tours and also has a Carriage Museum and an 1822 Law Office.
The Festival of Trees is a fundraiser for the Homestead to help support their educational programs and operations.
Each November the mansion is filled with decorated trees, wreaths, fabric decorations, mantel displays and much more.
Last year over 100 entries were submitted by local organizations, artists and individuals. Most of the items are donated to the Homestead for their silent auction. Visitors can bid on these items and can vote for their favorite item from each category.
