We stopped here on a whim while driving through Victor. There’s a little visitor center with a video you can watch to learn more about the place before you walk out to the field to check it out. We watched part of the video and then went out to check out the longhouse. It was a pretty nice reconstruction with lots of artifacts and new versions of artifacts. The guides were very informed and ready to answer any questions. Then we went off down the trails to explore. They’re very nice well maintained trails. We found ourselves going a little farther than we had intended and turned back before we got too lost. So take one of their trail maps with you if you’re going to venture out

You can learn a lot of basic info about the Seneca people at this place. There is a huge longhouse, the ancestral dwelling of the Seneca, at the site. There is a guide in the longhouse to answer basic questions. There are also walking trails around the site. it was a rainy day when we went, so I only checked out one trail. It was informative and a beautiful site. Several Seneca people worked at the site too and were helpful in answering questions. The staff was pretty friendly too.

Ganondagan is a New York State Historic Site which centers upon the life, culture and traditions of the Seneca Indian people who had a population approximately 4,000 people located in and around that area some 300 years ago. There is a reconstructed Seneca Long House; a Creators Garden of medicinal plants used by the Seneca as well as plants for food located in the«general staples» field. It is designed to show how the Seneca survived prior to the«white man,» and what their diet consisted of. There is also a shop with offerings of historic memorabilia, text information and souvenirs. Everything is uniquely Seneca, interpretive of what the settlement was like in 1600. The people working there are extremely pleasant, polite and helpful in explaining any aspect of the site. My purpose was to find any connection between the U.S. Constitution and the Iroquois Confederacy, as many claim the U.S. Constitution was modeled after the Iroquois Confederacy. Ganondagan is located out in the sticks, so to speak, and I would suggest that their website be checked out before planning a visit. They are also on , and at .
