About Rochester

Poised on the south shore of Lake Ontario with the Genesee River knifing through its center, Rochester offers a dramatic landscape of scenic wonders. The city is blessed with over 2,000 acres of parklands, which means plenty of hiking, camping, and recreational spots are readily available. Rochester is also known as a manufacturing hub, thanks to the production of high-tech imaging and photography equipment. Bausch and Lomb and Xerox make Rochester home, and George Eastman started his Eastman Kodak Company here. Visitors should take in Kodak Park, Eastman Theater, and the International Museum of Photography, which is located in Eastman's former house. Cultural highlights include the Strong Museum, the Rochester Museum and Science Center, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and the renowned Eastman School of Music. If time allows, check out the impressive botanical gardens of Highland Park.

A few decades later in 1888, a young Rochester bank clerk named George Eastman produced a flexible film camera that would initiate an entire new era of photography. The Haloid Company, known today as Xerox, was also started in Rochester.
