Brockport Museum & Library of Local History

Brockport Museum & Library of Local History Museum & Library of Local History in Brockport, NY The Emily L Knapp Museum is a municipal museum associated with the Village of Brockport.

The museum is located on the second and third floors in the former home of one of Brockport’s most prominent families, the Seymours, while the first floor contains the Village of Brockport offices. Those who visit Brockport’s collection of local history will feel they’ve entered a time when the Erie Canal was the bustling commercial center of this Victorian village: when ladies wore high-laced sho

es and skirts that scraped the slate sidewalks, and the gentlemen sported tall silk hats; when phonographs and stereopticon views as well as novels by our famed authoress, Mary Jane Holmes, entertained the masses. Don’t take our word for it, see for yourself.

Does anyone know anything about an elephant being buried on Lyman St?
Possibly this is just urban lore like the cow in the canal but we’d love to know if it’s true!
