Perfect place to take the kids, especially if it's raining. Great for any history buff, too.
The collections are fascinating, covering the country's first locomotive, the importance of the Erie canal to early Americana industry and the country’s expansion, and documenting through many exhibits how the community and its customs evolved as it navigated through our country's history. There are two spectacular exhibits to highlight. First, the exquisite cut glass produced by the Dorflinger factory and his contemporaries. For 40 years from 1870 to WWI, these pieces were sent around the world to be used at formal events by Presidents, monarchs, and in the finest restaurants. The artistry is nothing short of astonishing, especially when you see the tools they had to work with. It is impossible to day to make glass of such quality by hand. Second, parts of the collection of the American Impressionist, Mel Stark, a contemporary and friend of Whistler and other American and European Impressionists. The diversity and quality of his work deserves much greater awareness and appreciation. Truly not to be missed.
