200 Years of Wedding Traditions in Ontario County

This wedding gown of fine muslin was worn by Cornelia Van Rensselaer when she married Francis Granger in 1817. Francis was the son of US Postmaster General Gideon Granger who served under Thomas Jefferson and lived in Canandaigua, NY. Please join us for our public exhibit opening on May 11, featuring many gowns and formal mens wear.
