Springdale Farm

Reviewed By BRENDA M

What a fun relaxing place to enjoy nature and farm animals! They do a nice job at the farm and they help adults who are challenged with a disability and do it for donations. Teach your children a few lessons about animals and farming, go on a romantic interlude with your mate, visit the Enchanted forrest and read a big book in a natural classroom. DO it all at Springdale Farm!

Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum

The Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum is located in a historic trolley depot that sits along the banks of the Erie Canal in Spencerport, NY. The Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum is a small museum and visitor center. The museum houses collections related to the Erie Canal, transportation, communication, and local history on its main level. Downstairs there are restroom facilities for boaters traveling the Erie Canal. The museum operates during the canal season and is run primarily through the efforts of volunteers.

Reviewed By Larry W - Rochester, New York

The Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum is a very locally-oriented piece of history that has become a labor of love for the local people (especially senior citizens) of Spencerport. The building itself is over 100 years old, having been an early train depot that has been moved at least twice during its existence. Rescued from the brink of destructions on more than one occasion, the building has served as a train depot, a private residence, and a museum, as well as several periods when it was vacant and in the advanced stages of falling apart.

This small museum was moved to its current location in 2005, and then completely renovated through over 80,000 hours of individually-donated work. Everything was hand-worked, right down to the beautiful furniture that graces the interior.

Everything about this inside of this building is about education. Not only are there displays about the Erie Canal itself, but of the local community, the Ogden phone company, a farmers' library, and more. The people who staff this museum love what they do and it shows. They will gladly talk to you on almost any topic covered by the museum, and their passion for the subject shows.

This museum won't take you long to get through, as it is entirely contained within a couple of small rooms. However, it is worth the stop, especially if you are in the area. I do recommend it.

Mount Hope Cemetery

Mount Hope, dedicated in 1838, is America's first municipal Victorian Cemetery. Set in a picturesque landscape shaped by retreating glaciers, the cemetery contains priceless pieces of art and rare horticultural specimens. It is the final resting place of many dignified and internationally known individuals, including Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, and is on the National Park Services National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. Mount Hope is listed in the New York State Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places as part of the Mt. Hope/Highland Preservation District, featuring 83 mausoleums, soaring Egyptian obelisks, a Florentine cast-iron fountain, two stone chapels in the Gothic Revival style, a Moorish gazebo, a Victorian Gothic gatehouse, and infinitely varied tombstones marking 350,000 graves across 196 acres.

Reviewed By Ontheroadsince64 - Talkeetna, Alaska

What a beautiful old cemetery, the first of this type, with winding roads and walking paths. The gravesites, statues and landscaping are all interesting, but the best part is the way people today are using it for walks, exercise (we saw a yoga class outside one building), and general enjoyment. Gravesites of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass are here, among others. The map could be better marked -- we accidentally drove down a lane that was non-motorized only. Without signs posted, or any indication on map, it was impossible to realize til we got to bottom of hill where posts preventing a vehicle from entering were located.

The Unique Shop is well-named; this is my go-to source for unusual, tasteful, and affordable gifts I won't find in the franchise shops at the mall. There's a wonderful selection of greeting cards, too. I enjoy shopping locally, and the Unique Shop has saved me many a trip to the "big city".
