In a digital era with a global economy and worldview, it is easy to forget that the Rochester region has always been the home of innovators, inventors and original thinkers with an outsized impact on the rest of the nation and the world. There is no better place than Mount Hope Cemetery to remind us of what originated here as the First, the Best or the Most in New York, the United States or the world!
