Hammondsport Water, Wine and Wings! WATER: Located at the southern tip of Keuka Lake, Hammondsport is home to the Finger Lakes Boating Museum. Water views are never far from sight. WINE: Hammondsport’s first nickname was “The Wine Village,” as it became a center for the New York Wine industry and one of the oldest continuous makers of wine in the United States. It began in 1829 when the Rev. William Bostwick successfully cultivated Catawba and Isabella vines behind his rectory to produce communion wine. In 1860, Charles Champlin founded Pleasant Valley Wine Company, which became the first federally licensed winery in America. More than a dozen wineries surround Keuka Lake and comprise the Keuka Lake Wine Trail. Several iconic wineries, including the award-winning Dr. Konstantin Frank’s Vinifera Wine Cellars, Bully Hill Vineyards Winery and Heron Hill Winery, are minutes from Hammondsport. WINGS: Known as the Cradle of Aviation, Hammondsport is home to the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum. Hammondsport’s native son, Glenn Hammond Curtis was the first person to introduce aviation into the public eye when he flew his “JuneBug” over Keuka Lake on July 4, 1908. Curtiss is also known as the “Father of Naval Aviation,” and for many other pioneering inventions he created in Hammondsport.

Lafayette
J
ust south of Syracuse and easily accessible from I-81, Lafayette boasts several historic claims. The town is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a national Revolutionary War hero of both France and the United States. For many years it was the seat of the central government of the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Confederacy, and the scene of notable Native American gatherings, ceremonies and traditions. Today, Lafayette can boast its location at the crossing of the two longest roads in the country – Route 20 and Route 11 – spanning all the way from Canada to Florida and the East Coast to the West. Lafayette has always been known as a richly forested agricultural area. Visit the area’s apple orchards and take in the long-standing Lafayette Apple Festival held over the Saturday and Sunday before Columbus Day. Don’t miss the mouth-watering apple fritters and home-baked apple pies!
Lafayette Attractions Beak & Skiff
2708 State Route 80, Apple Hill Campus 315-696-6085 Beak & Skiff is a family-owned orchard voted the “Best American Apple Orchard” in the country by a 2017 USA Today Readers’ Choice competition. Late August through October is the best time for apple picking. During the summer you can enjoy the Apple Hill Country Store & Bake Shop, a fun Kids’ Area, a Café and the 1911 Tasting Room where you can try Beak & Skiff’s apple vodka made at their own distillery.

2980 Sentinel Heights Road, Lafayette 315-677-0286; www.carolwatsongreenhouse.com Carol Watson’s Greenhouse is a gardener’s oasis, a place filled with beauty, unique finds and friendly, knowledgeable people who enjoy welcoming and working with their guests. You will be delighted by the fragrances and colors of unusual plants and tropicals, along with a broad array of old-favorites. Wander through the displays or grab a cup of coffee and sit for a while by the 4-tier stone fountain in the main greenhouse. Have some creative fun at the “Terrarium Bar,” where you will find all the materials needed to make any size terrarium. Carol, who earned her degree in Retail Marketing at Syracuse University, also curates a broad assortment of garden art, from yard ornaments and pottery to birdhouses, sculptures, ceramic totems and special items by local artists and American crafts people. New items arrive weekly. Carol and her staff enjoy helping people design their garden spaces and understand how to best take care of their plantings. This treasure of a place is definitely not your cookie-cutter big box store! A treasure, indeed, but Carol would tell you that the real treasure at Watson Greenhouse is her mother, Claire, now in her late 80s. “It is a passion for the two of us,” Carol explained, “and I’ve been learning from family and gardening since I was able to walk.” Her grandfather was a scientist, her Dad an Ag teacher and her Mom’s expertise comes from a lifetime of tending plants, beginning at a time when growing your own food was often a matter of survival. “She is the mother of thousands,” Carol said with a smile, “and begins tenderly growing our greenhouse plants in large containers with ample soil so the roots won’t be cramped.” Carol, Claire and the Watson Greenhouse staff want to make sure your questions – whether gardening is a new or long-standing endeavor – are answered. They can help you design a garden, teach you what specific plants and shrubs require and make sure your gardens (and indoor plants, too) are beautiful and appropriate for your particular interests, conditions and skill level. So, pack your questions, your dog (the greenhouse is dog-friendly), your kids (they’ll enjoy the spacious grounds), your lunch (have a picnic on-site) and head out to Lafayette for a peaceful, happy summer day. Check the website for special events and classes.

Montour Falls:
The “Valley of Tumbling Waters”
A
s a southern gateway to the Finger Lakes Region, Montour Falls is noted for its natural as well as its historical beauty. Surrounded by hills rising 1,000 feet, it is the focal point for seven natural glens which radiate from its borders, with more than a score of beautiful waterfalls. Montour Falls is well-known for the 165-foot waterfall located on the west side of the village. History permeates the village. Montour Falls was once the site of a Seneca Indian Tribe, which was destroyed, along with 40 other Amerindian villages in the Finger Lakes, by Sullivan’s Army in 1779. The Iroquois Long House Council Chambers of the Haudenosaunee, was located here.The village is named after Queen Catherine Montour, a prominent native American woman of Seneca Indian heritage who lived at the village site in the 18th century. Montour Falls was an important trade stop and travel hub, playing an important role on the Seneca Lake inlet when the Chemung Canal was built in 1827 to connect Seneca Lake with the Chemung River. Homes in the Historic District offer a glimpse into this era. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through this Finger Lakes gem.

GLENORA RALLY, Montour Falls.
Montour Falls Attractions Eagle Cliff Falls
Located in a beautiful city park, complete with a picnic area, campground and playground, you will find beautiful Eagle Cliff Falls. At the far end of the park, a quarter mile trail follows along McClure Creek. The first water feature is a tiered cascade, as the creek descends a series of rock steps. Not too far up the trail, a series of steps leads beside the 40-foot Eagle Falls as it pours out of a deep gorge.The small gorge is enclosed by steep-sided cliffs, made up of layers of stained limestone. Look closely and you will discover a spread-wing eagle profile in the stone.
The “Glorious T”
The village streets of Montour Falls are lined with a pleasant mix of architectural styles, varying from the clean lines of craftsman to the ornate designs of Greek Revival and Victorian. The best examples are located at what is called “the Glorious T,” where West Main Street meets Genesee Street and mid-19th century homes surround the 156-foot Shequaga Falls. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the Village of Montour Falls offers a self-guided tour of the historic district. The audio journey is free and can be accessed via your cell phone and lasts about 25 minutes. Contact schuylerhistory.org for info.
Montour Falls Historic Loop Trail
The Montour Falls Historic Loop Trail (MFHLT) was created by the Finger Lakes Trail Conference and is part of the nearly 1,000-mile Finger Lakes Trail System. The MFHLT is around 5-miles and features three waterfalls, including She-Qua-Ga Falls, Eagle Cliff Falls and Deckertown Falls. The hike is described as easy, mostly level walking. The Finger Lakes Trail Conference (fingerlakestrail.org) features a special map of the Montour Falls Historic Loop Trail with description that they sell on their website.

East of State Route 13, in the town of Newfield Built in the1850s, the Newfield Bridge is the oldest covered bridge in New York State that still supports daily traffic. The
BRICK TAVERN MUSEUM, Montour Falls.
bridge was restored in 1972, raising the entire bridge a foot, increasing the height of the portal entrances and adding two additional trusses. By 1998, a large scale restoration included abutment and bank stabilization, new decking and roofing, a pedestrian bridge, the Musser Overlook and a picnic area. Located close to Montour Falls, make a stop and enjoy this picturesque touch of history.

She-Qua-Ga Falls
Dropping 156-feet into the “Glorious T,” Shequaga Falls seems to flow right into the heart of Montour Falls. Located at the intersection of Main and Genesee Streets, it is a big part of the Montour Falls Historic District. Two dozen structures line Genesee Street, including the court house, sheriff’s office, the Montour memorial Library and many wellkept 19th-century homes. Known as Tumbling Waters to Native Americans, Shequaga Falls is often referred to simply as Montour Falls by those having difficulty pronouncing the Indian name. From the park, built at the base of the falls, banks of lights create a beautiful night setting. Mill Creek Bridge spans the head of the falls and offers another great view of the town and the waterfall.

Penn Yan
“A friendly place”
P
enn Yan, the largest town on Y-shaped Keuka Lake, traces its unusual name to its early Pennsylvania and Yankee settlers, many of whom came to Yates County as followers of Jemima Wilkinson, the first American-born woman to form a religious society in America, and her group, the “Society of Universal Friends.” Old Order Mennonite families are recent arrivals to the area. Beginning in 1974, many families of the Groffdale Conference Mennonite Church moved to Yates County from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, seeking affordable farmland. The Yates County Old Order Mennonites settlement is the largest horse-and-buggy community in the state of New York If you are a boating enthusiast, you probably have heard of or ridden on a wooden or fiberglass boat built by the Penn Yan Boat Company. The company, established in 1921 by a German native, Charles A. Hermann, was known for its patented “Tunnel Drive” concept, which provided better boat speed and stability. Today, Penn Yan’s Main Street offers a friendly place to stroll with its eclectic mix of vintage architecture, art gallery, bookstore, shops and restaurants. The community prides itself in looking after each other and in being approachable. Stop in at the Visitors Center on NY Route 14A just south of the village and ask for the “historic Main Street Walking Tour,” which will give you the details on this National Register Historic District.

Part natural wonder and part “industrial archaeology,” the 7-mile Keuka Lake Outlet Trail is built on the track bed of the old Fall Brook Railroad (1884-1974), which, in turn, followed the towpath of the historic Crooked Lake Canal (1833-1877) that once connected Keuka and Seneca lakes by dropping 270 feet over 8 miles through the ravine created by the Keuka Outlet Creek. Lining the trail are remnants of the old gristmills, sawmills and distilleries. Remnants of the Crooked Lake Canal, with its 27 locks, run along the north side of the outlet. An elevation drop of nearly 400 feet, beautiful scenery, gorgeous waterfalls and unusual plant life combine to make this an excellent hike for all enthusiasts. June 8-9: Keuka Arts Festival.

S
ixteen-miles long and one of the cleanest lakes in the world, Skaneateles Lake is the eastern gateway to the Finger Lakes. Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State, William Seward from Auburn, is reported to have claimed it as “the most beautiful body of water in the world.” The Village of Skaneateles on the northern tip of the lake is a much-loved summer destination filled with boutique shops, excellent restaurants and a lakeside park with a picture-perfect gazebo and long pier stretching over the crystal clear water. Baskets of summer flowers, lovely trees and inviting park benches lead the way through Main Street’s Historic Business District past many buildings listed now on the National Register of Historic Places. Get an ice cream on a hot summer day and enjoy a pleasant stroll. The Antique & Classic Boat Show hosted July 26-28 by the Finger Lakes Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society and the Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce is a hallmark of the summer season. Visit the Chamber of Commerce for more information, maps, driving directions and details about all that Skaneateles has to offer.

Labrador Hollow Unique Area
TULLY AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Tully.
Tully
I
n the heart of Central New York, Tully is the home of beautiful natural landscapes and a warm, smalltown atmosphere which emphasizes family and community. Tully can be reached by Interstate 81 (exit 14). The city of Syracuse is about 18 miles to the north, and Binghamton about 50 miles to the south. Following the Revolutionary War, the upstate New York area was organized into Military Tracts. The surveyors were responsible for naming the areas and one of the assistant surveyors, being a classical scholar and professor at Kings College (Columbia), assigned names from Roman generals and statesmen and Greek men of letters. Tully is derived from the middle name of Marcus Tullius Cicero.
You will have noticed this Greco-Roman name connection throughout the Finger Lakes. The great glaciers of the Ice Age provided more than good farm lands, soils, and favorable industrial sites in Tully and surrounding areas. Glacial erosion formed long, steep hill slopes, making them ideal for skiing. As the glacier receded, masses of ice that lay buried beneath the outwash plain finally melted, leaving sags and depressions that now hold the lovely Tully Lakes. These kettle lakes attract both wildlife and people. The beauty of the high hills and wide valleys, along with easy access to the metropolitan areas of Syracuse and Binghamton, have made Tully an attractive location for family residences and businesses.

Accessible Boardwalk: The Labrador Hollow accessible boardwalk is nearly 2,000 feet in length and is a wellknown attraction. Accessible to those with mobility impairments, the newly rebuilt boardwalk traverses a diverse wetland complex and provides a glimpse of flora and fauna that inhabit New York’s wetlands. The boardwalk has benches along the way and there is an accessible rustic toilet building at the boardwalk parking area. Labrador Hollow also features an accessible trail of about ¼ mile which leads to Tinker Falls. Labrador Pond features an accessible fishing pier located on the west side of the pond near the hand boat launch

Weedsport & Cato
Weedsport & Cato Attractions
eedsport and Cato were both part of the Central New York Military Tract reserved for veterans of the American Revolutionary War. Weedsport later became an important part of the Erie Canal, west of Syracuse. Originally named “Weed’s Basin” because the town had a basin (boat turnaround) during the Erie Canal era, the name was later changed to Weedsport. Visit Centreport Aqueduct and Aqueduct Park to get a feel for what it took to build the Erie Canal, the trade route that opened the United States to Westward expansion.
Cross Lake

Between Jordan and Meridian, Cross Lake is basically a widening of the Seneca River as the river flows through the lower third of the lake. According to the Department of Environmental Conservation, “Cross Lake is probably best known for producing some large northern pike with fish in the 15 pound range being taken most years. Walleye, tiger musky, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass are the main game fish found in the lake.” A DEC launch on Seneca River provides public access to Cross Lake. It is

Centreport Aqueduct & Aqueduct Park
Route 31 West, Weedsport; eriecanal.org/Centreport_Aqueduct.org The Erie Canal was the engineering marvel of its time and this is a great place to study its engineering ingenuity. Located in the town of Brutus near Weedsport, the historic Centerport Aqueduct was opened in 1855 and originally carried the Erie Canal over a confluence of North and Cold Springs Brooks. It was named “Centre Port” Aqueduct because it was located almost in the exact middle of Section 7 of the Erie Canal. It is a three-span structure that was constructed with stone abutments and wooden beams made from white oak and pine. The trough was made from hemlock. It is one of the original 33 aqueducts built during the construction of the Erie Canal. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Aqueduct is unusual as it incorporates a dam into the stonework structure. The park has several picnic tables and small grills, but does not have restrooms or electricity available. All trash must be removed. Hours: dawn to dusk.
