George Eastman House

  • July 13, 2001
  • Rated 3 of 5 by Shauna from San Francisco, California
The Eastman House is an International Museum of Photography housed in the former estate of George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak company, and founding father of photography in America. The museum has recently expanded, and the site includes a bookstore, a theater, cafe, and gardens. The mansion is filled with both permanent exhibits of photography and Eastman's contributions, the history of Kodak, etc. as well as travelling exhibitions.

Definitely worth spending a few hours here - it's surely a pilgrimage site if you're a photographer or remotely interested - just note, it's closed on Mondays.

George Eastman House

  • August 29, 2000
  • Rated 3 of 5 by barbara from Atlanta, Georgia
George Eastman was the founder of the Eastman Kodack Company, and his 35,000 Square Foot Mansion now houses one of the most extensive museums on photography in the country. One can't help but be impressed by the 50 room home with its beautiful gardens. One can't help but be fascinated by the story of an American entrepeneur. There are guided tours available and admission for adults is $6.50/each. Kids from 5-12 get in for $2.50, and younger children are free. The house and history are worth the two hours one can devote to this landmark. For more information check out the website at www.eastman.org or call 716-271-3361.
