The actual cemetery for the Genesee County Home (The Poor House) and any headstones therein have long since deteriorated, leaving no evidence of a cemetery. In 2004, the Genesee County Historians set up a memorial site in the Genesee Park. There is a fenced area, five headstones which were returned to the county, and a historical marker which honors those who died in the county home from 1827-1974. In 1974 the facility was shut down and relocated to Batavia.
