A public meeting was held on March 4, 2010 to discuss options for the adaptive reuse of Campbell-Whittlesey house, which will cease museum operations as of July 1, 2010. About 60 people came to the meeting, and many creative ideas were shared.

We welcome your ideas for the adaptive reuse and sale of this vital historic property! Please let us know your vision for this house by calling us at (585) 546-7029 or emailing us.

About the decision to close Campbell-Whittlesey: The decision to close the house museum at  is the end result of over five years of strategic planning and in-depth studies of opportunities for the property's use. Last summer, we continued this process with the issuance of a press statement informing the public of our progress and inviting community participation in the dialogue about options for the property.

NEW!

By now it's fairly clear that The Landmark Society is a big fan of city living. We also consider ourselves lucky to be in such a great place as the City of Rochester! Stunning architecture, beautiful parks, world-class arts and culture, public and private universities, great restaurants and independent businesses, a century-old Public Market, important history...the list of why we love Rochester is endless. And we're proud to once again partner with the City of Rochester for the City Living Sundays program, a one-stop expo for potential homebuyers.

Read more here about the program, and about how to qualify for a FREE Landmark Society bus tour the Saturdays preceding each Sunday event.
