Top 8 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Plattsburgh, New York (NY)
Sitting only 18 miles South of the US border with Quebec, Plattsburgh was once a major hub in the fur trade with Montreal. The city is made for walking, full of beautiful turn of the century buildings and manicured parks. A River Walk follows the Saranac River as it cuts through town, ending at the shores of Lake Champlain, home to Champy, the American cousin of the Loch Ness Monster. The surrounding area is part of Adirondack Park, America's largest wilderness preserve outside of Alaska.

We traveled from indiana to visit the museum. When we went for a tour today we were only charged $7.50 per guest. The tour went on for almost 2 hours! The tour guide was very knowledgeable! The items on display are priceless! Some of the irreplaceable items were a helicopter, cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and motorized bicycles. The museum also had huge bonus displays such as model trains and cars which were incredible! The museum catered to people with disabilities to include restrooms, and golf cart rides to the different museum buildings. It was also nice to see multiple seats strategically placed throughout the museum for people to sit and enjoy the exhibits. This was a great tour with a great admission fee! Must visit!

FABULOUS! This place looks like nothing from the outside but is a MUST STOP! It is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful and fun and the food is superb - and their home made cider is terrific and I don't like cider - but this was so smooth and so crisp - STOP. Do. Not. Pass. Go. STOP here! They are friendly and courteous and it is quaint and wonderful! We drove 50 miles out of our way to go back to this place on our way back from Canada. Lots of Gluten-free options - just because they do a lot of foods that are natural and gluten-free. They have plenty of parking and an adorable sitting area outside. On our first visit, there was a large group doing a pre-wedding lunch outside and they could not have chosen a better place - that's what they said! I agree. The outside area is tucked in among the vines heavy with grapes and it is too cute! The service was a bit slow the first time - the lady waitress was struggling a bit - turns out she is the wife of the owner who helps out - but she could not have been nicer! She wanted to be sure she got everything right. This is a family affair and it is done with love. 1. Don't judge it by its outside. Once you have gone you will like the "down to earth" kind of vibe! 2. Order the cider. 3. It's a dive - a GREAT dive.
