About Genesee, Idaho

Genesee is a thriving agricultural community located between Moscow and Lewiston. After experiencing a big expansion in its population in the early 1900’s, Genesee has maintained its population at around 800. The town has endured through changes and has remained a safe haven for commuters and a focal point of the surrounding agricultural  area .

There are superior examples of historical buildings throughout Genesee, a testament to the rich heritage and history of the area. Genesee’s prosperity is clearly visible through its attractive farm buildings, businesses, pleasant homes and churches. The downtown area  invites exploration with its arches, ornamental brickwork, attractive iron work , and period homes.

Genesee is proud of its Community Days, which includes breakfast, followed by a number of activities including the Genesee Trap Shoot, an Open House hosted by the Library, Musical entertainment, Cow Creek Run, the Kiddie parade, the main parade, Class reunions, and Fireworks.
