Welcome to our website!
This is the official website for the Village of Wolcott NY and the Wolcott Historical Society.
Our Village is located in Wayne County NY. It lies nearly halfway between Rochester NY and Syracuse NY and is located just a few miles south of the Lake Ontario shoreline.
The Wolcott Square Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001
One of the more prominent landmarks of our Village is the statue of "Venus Rising From the Sea" which stands at the four corners in the heart of downtown Wolcott and is an integral part of our Historic District. Venus is made of cast iron and is one of only eight known to exist in America. The statue arrived here in September 1913. It was felt that with the installation of a public water system in the village, there should be some kind of public drinking fountain "for both man and beast" at the site of the old town pump and four corners.
Along with a spectacular waterfall, our parks, and many, many attractions around our area, Wolcott is a marvelous place to live, work, or just visit!
Feel free to browse around our website using the menu above. You will find lots of useful and interesting information related to our village, local business, and also information about the history of the area in general along with some pictoral depictions of days gone by.
Enjoy your visit!
