Central New York
In New York's heartland, scenic country roads lead to world-famous attractions
like the Baseball Hall of Fame and Howe Caverns as well as hidden gems-from
Binghamton's six antique carousels to diverse collections of the Walter Elwood
Museum in Amsterdam and the Northeast Classic Car Museum in Norwich.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, celebrating 75 years in Cooperstown,
honors the game's greatest stars. Nearby, experience 1845 village life at The Farmers'
Museum and see whimsical folk art at the Fenimore Art Museum. The Glimmerglass
Festival presents world-class opera in a beautiful lakeside setting. Even a trolley ride
down Main Street is a magical trip in this classic American village.
In Utica, tour historic Saranac Brewery and enjoy concerts, theater and great American
art at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. From Erie Canal Cruises in Herkimer,
to picturesque canalside bike paths, waterways offer cool options. In Rome, explore
the 1840s Erie Canal Village and watch costumed guides recreate American history at
Fort Stanwix National Monument. See world champions honored at the Boxing Hall
of Fame in Canastota, and championship golf at Turning Stone Resort & Casino.
Discover geological wonders like Secret Caverns' 100-foot underground waterfall and
amazing rock formations at Howe Caverns, a prehistoric underground cave. Beside
Oneida Lake, popular for fishing and boating, Sylvan Beach Amusement Park features
great rides and entertainment.
