Home to the historic Avon Sulphur Springs health spa. From 1821 until the early 20th century, extensive health and recreational facilities graced the area to attract and accommodate guests from far and wide who came to seek relief from various maladies. The race track, which was laid out in 1836, has remained a training track for standard bred horses, and is home to the Genesee Valley Breeders Association events.
