The historic site's stately trees, rolling hills, and picturesque views from the house and gardens situated on the highest bluff above the river all combine to create the natural landscape garden that Morse found so appealing. Morse was strongly influenced by romantic 19th century landscape garden design. At Locust Grove he found many essential elements already put in place by nature and added his artist's touch to frame views, create vistas and provide comfortable settings in which to relax and enjoy the beauty of the landscape.

The Livingston County Historical Society is very proud of the fine museum which it operates at 30 Center Street in the village of Geneseo, New York. The museum is housed in the attractive cobblestone building which served as a district school for nearly a century. This 1838 structure, as delightful in atmosphere as it is handsome in design, lends itself ideally for use as a Museum of Local History.
Exhibits in the Museum range from relics of pioneer days to mementos of the 20th century; household articles to ladies' finery; from objects of folk art to examples of Valley wildlife; from Indian artifacts to old-time lighting devices.
