The Sanborn Area Historical Society brings to life the history of the Sanborn area in the SCHOOLHOUSE MUSEUM at 2822 Niagara Street. Sanborn, NY. Formed in 1996, its first project was to move the one-room West Street school over frozen ground to the corner of West and Niagara Streets. Since that time, the school has been converted to a first class museum complete with handicap accessibility and a top of the line office for record keeping.

The numerous exhibits include artifacts from the life and times of early settlers in this area, dating from the early 1800s. In addition, there are one-of-a-kind artifacts not available for viewing in much larger museums. Since its opening, many have visited the museum and school groups and clubs have taken advantage of the special tours offered.

THE FARM MUSEUM is located at 2660 Saunders Settlement Road (Route 31). Sanborn, NY.  We purchased the 56 acre Nancy and Leonard Wienke farm property with its 120-year old vintage barn. This was a logical decision based on the Heberling Associates Inc. "Feasibility Study" recommendation to develop a Farm Museum.... “a historic farm.... a living history agricultural center”.

This property on Saunders Settlement Road actually borders our museum property at the rear. Both have the railroad property as a southern boundary.
