What to do and see in Jamestown, New York (NY): The Best Free Things to do
Once known as "The Furniture Capital of the World," industry has long since deserted Jamestown, a sleepy town on the tip of beautiful Chautauqua Lake, a popular fishing and sailing destination. The town is the home of the Lucy-Desi Museum and Desilu Playhouse, both built in honor of the town's most famous daughter. Jamestown also contains The Audubon Center, which features a 600 acre nature sanctuary with five miles of observation and hiking paths and is the home of Liberty, a local bald eagle.

There is something for almost anyone at the Audubon Community Nature Center. Hike six miles of trails through forests and wetlands, visit a live Bald Eagle, or enjoy having a picnic and playing in the Nature Play Area. There are play areas, live animals, a gift shop and a wildlife viewing area inside the Nature Center, while outside there are also gardens, a native tree arboretum, picnic pavilions, towers and more. Visit the website to learn what programs might be happening while you are there!

While visiting Jamestown, New York and stopping by the National Comedy Center and the Lucy Desi Museum and catching Sebastian Maniscalco at the North West Arena, I would be remiss if I were not to visit the grave site of Lucille Ball. So on our last day in Jamestown we drove over to the Lake View Cemetery and followed the red hearts painted on to the cemetery road which directed us to a short rise along a stone walkway to a beautiful dark tombstone adorned with flowers which marks the eternal resting site of America's first lady of comedy Lucille Ball. I am pleased that we paid our respects.

They have traditional chocolate favorites, some yummy innovative creations, and AMAZING customer service! A place you must stop and visit if you are ever in the area!!!!

The area around the light house has been reinvented. I am from the area and have been away for years. I remember the skating rink as the only attraction now it has been reborn
