This is an estate bought by the County for the public's enjoyment. Has a veteran's memorial there. Main house is still being remodeled, but the grounds are beautiful, with lots of paths, trails and large lawns on which to picnic or just let kids run around.
2. Salingers Orchard Farm Market and Bakery

Reviewed By Ginacucina - Mahopac
Salingers is definitely an off-the-beaten-path orchard and store. I love shopping here for apples, pears, pumpkins...whatever is in season. They also offer a lot of jams, jellies, relishes, pickled veggies, fresh honey, vegetable produce, and most important at holiday time, PIES fresh from their own bakery! Lots and lots of pies. If you're thinking Thanksgiving, you better pre-order.

Not many people expect to find the largest indoor Buddha in the Western Hemisphere in Carmel, NY....impressive, peaceful, quiet, beautiful setting. I love coming here just to quietly walk the grounds and appreciate the natural surroundings.

The house is intriguing, with many of the rooms and their furnishings taken from Italian castles and chateaus and built into the house. Quite incredible. The gardens are lovely as well and the concerts can be exceptional, with a choice of venues to suit the music and the size of the audience,

WCC raises wolves in a protected setting in the hopes they can be reintroduced into the wild. They regularly run educational programs with their ambassador wolves that are used to appearing in public. The center also maintains an internet/Facebook presence with photographs and recordings of their elusive residents.
A very worthy recipient of contributions if you love wildlife.
7. Stuart's Farm

Reviewed By WeLoveTraveling23 - New York City
First, their fruit is delicious. They have nuts and jams in their store. Little disappointed in the bakery. I thought they would have had more of a selection of baked goods. Mostly pies. Their orchards are confusing. I have been apple picking further upstate New York for thirty years. Most orchards have one variety of apples in one area. This one had different apples in the same row. None of the areas were marked with the kind of apples that are in that area. The rows have ditches in them so be careful. There are also branches with thorns on them to try to avoid that. The ladies in the store were very nice. However, I had a difficult time carrying the bag that they gave me so I used my own and was going to transfer the apples to their bag when I returned to the car. This man on a tractor began to grill me about paying for my apples. If you come across this man and can overlook his rudeness then go for a fun day.

Top notch 4-screen movie theater playing new releases. Within walking distance of many good restaurants. Best part is their mission to provide meaningful employment to adults with special needs.
9. Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve

Reviewed By John M - Cut Bank, Montana
Turkey Mountain Preserve / Trail is nothing but dirt walking trails created by people who have never ventured outside of the county to experience real forests.
This place has been destroyed by yuppies who cry anytime the park is utuilized. No hunting, fishing offroading, camping, as it is surrounded by an urban-surburban area.
