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.
