A house built in 1830 that was most notably the childhood home of Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the first female ordained minister in the United States.
The Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell Childhood Home is a historic home located at Henrietta in Monroe County, New York. It is a vernacular Federal style masonry residence constructed of random fieldstone with brick infill. It was built in 1830 as a 2+1⁄2-story side-gable-and-wing design and later modified and expanded. It is notable as the childhood residence of women's rights advocate Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921), who was the first woman to be ordained as a minister in the United States.

Rochester Institute of Technology's innovation and creativity festival showcases what happens "when the left brain and right brain collide," featuring hundreds of student projects from every corner of the university. Robotics, music, sign language, virtual reality, ecology, and weird science are just a few of the many subject areas covered; in fact, most of the projects take elements from multiple disciplines and combine them in innovative ways. Plenty of food, hands-on exhibits, and kids' activities make for an unbeatable value for a day out.
