In 1820, the first school in Geneseo was built in the center of town on land donated by James Wadsworth and William Wadsworth. The Wadsworths had purchased tens of thousands of acres from the Seneca tribe of Native Americans around 1790. In 1779, during the American Revolution, the Senecas fled Geneseo because of the Sullivan Expedition. In 1932 the school became a museum when the state college opened Holcomb School. This school later closed and became the Welles Building, now part of the State University of New York at Geneseo campus. Holcomb School was named after Dr. Winfield A. Holcomb, a president of Geneseo State Normal School, a predecessor of today's SUNY school. Holcomb School was moved to a new building, which was torn down in 2012 to make room for a sports building for the college at Geneseo. Geneseo's high school opened in 1830. It was located on the east side of the village. It was at first called Livingston County High School, and later the Geneseo Academy. It closed in the early 1870s. This was because Geneseo State Normal School opened a high school within its building. In 1930 Geneseo began building a high school again to replace the Normal School's high school. The new high school building was built on 79 acres of land donated by the Wadsworths, and opened in 1933. The building is now known as the Doty Building. The high school moved to its present location in 1974. References
