Educational Tour - Hinchey Homestead

Join us for a tour of the historical Hinchey House, and surrounding grounds.

William S. Hinchey, a town pioneer for whom Hinchey Road is named, settled south of Gates Center circa 1810 on a farm near the present day intersection of Hinchey and Howard Road. His son, Franklin [1828-1912] built the family homestead in the 1870s. It stands today as the only structure in Gates listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Hinchey family was active in the Town of Gates through the late 1800s and early 1900s and introduced the Holstein breed of dairy cattle to the Town.
