I’ve been slowly building up my New York Travel Map which is a visually-aided archive of all our travels. We’ve been to dozens and dozens of places in New York State. Using my map is an easier way to sift through the archives. Of course, there is a handy search feature I’ve included in the sidebar, too. But I highly recommend you check out my map! I’ve been working on it zealously. Here’s quick rundown of the most popular posts I’ve just recently added:
Chittenango State park, Chittenango, NY: This was our summer visit to a lovely state park in Central New York. The waterfall here is stunning. See the photos for yourself! And the falls are home to the acclaimed Novisuccinea chittenangoensis. Yes, it’s true!
The Old Stone Fort in Schoharie, NY. It was a wonderful trip through beautiful eastern New York. The museum was terrific! It had everything under the sun, and then some! Our visit here was a real delight. This is one we plan to visit again.
Fort Ontario in Oswego, NY. This is a wonderfully restored fort on the eastern rim of one of NY’s Great Lakes. The lake is gorgeous. I tried to get in as much of it’s beauty with the photos, as I could.
The Old Main, or Utica Lunatic Asylum, in Utica, NY. The building is on the National Registry of Historic Houses. What a beautiful old building, now in great disrepair. It served as the nation’s first treatment center for mental illness, then later became a place for alcohol and drug rehabilitation. The place is brimming with architectural and local history.
Oriskany Battlefield Memorial Site, Oriskany, NY: Home to the bloodiest battle of the American Revolution. Our visit here was filled with moments of swelling patriotic pride, and great sadness as we realized the tragedy that occurred here.
Fort Stanwix, Rome, NY: This continues to be one of the most popular posts of the New York Traveler. We adore Fort Stanwix, and it shows! This fort has everything: interactive displays, reenactments, music, movies, museums, friendly park rangers, and a terrific gift shop. We go here at least every year, and discover something new each time.
I have all these travels archived in the New York Travel Map, plus more. I encourage you to check it out! and thanks!
