Last week I asked: What is there to do in Dutchess County? Visit FDR’s home.

Slow down and travel through a quieter time. Georgia’s Antebellum Trail from Athens to Macon is a trip through the era before the Civil War. Plan a couple of days… or more.

Wellesley Island is the second largest island in the Thousand Islands.

Last week I asked: What NYS features are not closed? Waterfalls

While the museums are closed now they will reopen. Most have web sites. The Underground Railroad (UGRR) was not a railroad nor was it underground. It was a secret network of people who hid and guided slaves to freedom. Until the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, a runaway slave only had to get to a free state like New York State to enjoy freedom.

There are several places in New York State to learn about the Iroquois – many have special events and several are seasonal.

When I travel I like to visit World Heritage Sites.  World Heritage Sites are those places deemed by the United Nations as having cultural, historic, scientific or some other significance. 

With everyone at home, now is the perfect time to learn about some of the unique aspects of the world including architecture. Ieoh Ming Pei, commonly known as I. M. Pei.
