The Society maintains four historic 19th century properties, an archive and library, a museum and runs programs and events related to the history of Geneva and the Finger Lakes area.
Was Brook St named for William Brooks
I don’t believe so. As it crosses Castle Creek and is called Brook Street, not Brooks Street, I think it was named for the creek, not the man.
