It is about 1000 yards before the stop light on the left hand side. A great house where I spent so much time searching for ghosts. My family is related to the Pitt's and most of my family still remains in the town of Honeoye. The hill you went up also has a grave yard which is the burial site to many of the original town settlers. It is overgrown and out of the way but a great place to go. Hoenoye is a great little town and was a part of the underground railroad. One of the teachers of the school, Mrs. Blackmer, has a house where you can go and see where the slaves hid away until the cover of the night. I hope you enjoyed your drive through there. It was my childhood and a wonderful place to grow up. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
