Visiting here was a very moving experience. All the white headstones are lined up in orderly rows, magnificent. This is NOT to be confused with Woodlawn cemetery where Mark Twain is buried despite other reviews saying so. This is a National veterans cemetery right next to the other one. There are over 2,500 confederate soldiers buried here among the 10,000 + graves. They were victims of poor conditions and over crowding at the Elmira Prison during the civil war. The cemetery is excellently maintained.

This is a great space to showcase local and regional talent in a well laid out space. The prices are extremely reasonable as well, especially for one-of-a-kind items.

Visited on a random Monday - Gary took us around and was very informative on the syrup production process. He also allowed us to try a bunch of samples. I wound up buying several of his maple products (syrup, bbq sauce, and mustard) because they were so delicious. Also is a COVID-safe activity (tour is outdoors).

This place was a little out of the way, but very nice. Smelled great inside. Had some homemade apple cider doughnuts and apple cider. Bought a peck of apples too. Apple cider was very tasty.

Beautiful square. Tables and chairs, benches, nicely landscaped, a stage for weekly concerts in the summer, along Market Street for easy access to shops and restaurants, ice cream shop next door, historic clock tower from the early 1800's, adjacent to parking garage and pedestrian walkway over the river to the Corning Glass Museum. Perfect place to relax in the middle of town.

This farm offers sanctuary and a home for abused farm animals, and helps to educate Americans about treating animals with respect and compassion.

Our guide was a guy that had only been there a few months he said, but he was awesome. We loved meeting all the animals and hearing of their journeys. I am hoping this trip may be the push my boyfriend needed to become vegan. So peaceful and such a happy place.....truly happy animals here! I only wish they had a small vegan cafe to show people how tasty vegan food can be.

You have two options for this excursion. Wing it and stop at wineries at random or look up what they have to offer and plan your trip. We stopped at 6 wineries and bought at all but one so random worked for us. There are so many choices it’s mind boggling! We started at the wine center in Watkins Glen and got a handy map which was definitely worth it. Many of the locations now offer predetermined flights rather than tastings. If you are trying to get in several wineries this can be a lot of wine to drink. At some locations they allowed us to split a flight which we appreciated since we drove ourselves. The drive has great views of the lake. Very pleasant and we will go again.
