Welcome to Livonia, NY

Overview Livonia is a town on the eastern edge of Livingston County, near the northeast corner. Livonia is bordered to the north by Lima, to the east by Ontario County (town of Richmond), to the south by Conesus and to the west by Geneseo. Livonia lies between two of the smaller Finger Lakes – Conesus on the west side and Hemlock to the southeast. As such, Livonia is a popular spot for people who enjoy lake- or lakefront activities, like boating, camping and picnicking. Hemlock Lake, a drinking-water supply for Rochester for more than a century, is one of the undeveloped Finger Lakes where boating is allowed but restricted. The town of Livonia includes a village of the same name as well as a dozen or so hamlets. Irving Crane, a former world champion billiards player, is from Livonia. Local Museums & Landmarks The Hemlock Fairground is a national historic district and fairground, with a racetrack, 19th century grandstand and several buildings. The Maurice Sweeney Museum, at 10 Commercial St., is the home of the Livonia Area Preservation and Historical Society. The Livonia Baptist Church is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Recreation & Entertainment Because of its setting between two lakes, it’s not surprising that most entertainment is centered around the outdoors. Conesus Lake, the busier of the two lakes, has a marine park and other attractions. Hemlock Lake, more pristine and undeveloped has a park at the northern tip and is better for hiking, canoeing and other “quieter” activity. For more outdoor activity, Letchworth State Park and Stony Brook State Park are both nearby. The hamlet of Hemlock holds the annual “Little World’s Fair” each summer. The town of Livonia hosts a free outdoor concert series at Vitale Park in the summer. Neighboring Geneseo, home to the State University College at Geneseo, has many of the attractions you would expect of a college town.
