HOW THE HINCHEY HOMESTEAD BENEFITS GATES BUSINESSES
‘Do you have any suggestions for a local restaurant?” the contact person for the Greece Red Hat Society asked in 2024.“
Our group likes to make a whole day event so following our tour of the Hinchey Homestead we will eat at a local restaurant and then visit the Garden Factory in Gates”.
The Gates Historical Society volunteers who manage the Hinchey Homestead for the Town of Gates were happy to suggest local restaurants for this group.
Local businesses may not realize that historical societies provide an area attraction that brings visitors to town and those visitors use Gates businesses, whether they are shopping, filling their gas tank or eating at a local restaurant.
When a historic home is centrally located as the Hinchey Homestead, many visitors stay in Gates to enjoy the many conveniences the Town offers.
