Overview
The town of Rose, east of the center of Wayne County, includes the hamlet of North Rose. With only about 2,300 residents, Rose is among the smallest towns in Wayne County. This town is pretty much wide open, with camping and wildlife areas but little retail business. Route 414 runs north-south right through Rose. The Clingerman Wildlife Museum is here, and Sodus Creek flows through the town to Sodus Bay. The North Rose-Wolcott School District serves residents who live here. One interesting tidbit from Rose’s history: Around 1840, residents were convinced that gold and precious gems were buried here, but no treasures were ever found.
Local Museums/Landmarks
The Clingerman Wildlife Museum is on Brick Schoolhouse Road. The Bernard Farnsworth Museum is in the former Rose Elementary Museum on School Street and includes a costume collection and a bottle collection
