Our abundant, natural environment is fed by the many watersheds, rivers, and streams known collectively as "The Oak".

We are particularly fortunate to live in a region rich in the beauty, action, form, and light inherent in:

• Plentiful rivers, streams, waterfalls,and swamp lands
• Flourishing indigenous woodlands, vegetation, wildflowers, and wild life
• World-class fishing on The Oak and Lake Ontario
• A number of quaint villages and hamlets
• Historical icons including the Erie Canal and Medina sand-stone buildings
• Cobblestone buildings, early American barns, and Victorian-era architecture
• The activity and bounty of our small to medium-size farms, fruit orchards, vineyards, and farm markets
• Amish and Mennonite families, farms, and industries
• Verdant springs, busy summers, brilliant autumns, enchanting yet rugged winters

We hope you will take a few minutes (or longer) to browse through our sampling of fine art and background stories and discover for yourself the wealth of artistic talent and artistic products available in Orleans County New York … somewhere close to heaven.
