George Eastman was the founder of the photography company Kodak, so it should come as no surprise that the George Eastman House is home to one of the world's largest collections of photography equipment. The home was built in 1905, and Eastman lived here until his death in 1932.

Many of the rooms still house their original furnishings and decorations, and Eastman's bedroom has been converted into an interactive mini-lab that allows visitors to see how photos used to be developed. Guided tours of the home are available Tuesday through Sunday, and tours of the grounds and gardens are offered during the summer.
