My wife and I were recently here along with a tour of the Stickley factory. This museum is just the right size to summarize relevant history and includes numerous pieces of furniture which depict evolution of the brand. The museum curator was very friendly and helpful. If in the area and interested, this is an easy and enjoyable stop. The museum was very easy to access. A nice extra to our rural NY trip.

The fact that the proprietor introduces each film to the assembled audience says a lot about the personal touch not found anywhere else. In addition, his discriminating taste in booking movies can be trusted--the films are unfailingly high quality and thought-provoking. This 99-year-old venue isn't luxurious, but it's comfortable enough--and a bargain for such a quality experience.

he Erie Canal Museum is housed in the National Register 1850 Weighlock Building, the only structure of its kind in the United States. The unique building where canal cargo was once weighed is the Museum's most important artifact and a centerpiece for interpretation of Erie Canal history. The Museum shows visitors 200 years of Erie Canal history through interactive displays, hands-on exhibits, a full-size replica canal boat, narrative audio tracks and original artifacts. The Museum shop offers historic maps, books for children and adults, T-shirts, Canal-inspired toys and more. Admission is free with a $5 suggested donation. Hours are Monday-Saturday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. with the exception of major holidays. Free parking in Visitor Center spaces in lot on Erie Boulevard East. The Museum also serves as the Syracuse Heritage Area Visitor Center, providing information, brochures, maps and interpretive signage throughout downtown Syracuse.
We have done a couple of tours of things related to the Erie Canal and always enjoyed them. We were in the Syracuse area and figured this would be an interesting thing to do. First the positive, it is a very cheap museum, $5 suggested donation. They have a full-size model of a boat that would have used the canal and you can go on it and walk around. The emphasis is on the weigh house (station, can't remember exactly what it is called). It is what weighed the boats on the canal. The back part of the museum in the weigh station and you get to see how it works and what it would have looked like. They also have an interactive game that let you play the part of the station master. Ok, now the problems. The weigh house game worked but there were several others including one that looked really interesting that weren't working. The museum has a ton of stuff but the order to look at it seems disjointed. It might have just been me but half the time I felt I was following a chronology, this is the order things were built. The other part of the time I felt it was geography, start in Albany and work your way across to Buffalo. It just got a little confusing, again it might have been how we went through. Also the second floor was set up for postcards which were interesting but it didn't seem like an efficient use of the space. Anyway it was definitely worth the visit.

Hercules Candy is a fantastic place to buy all your chocolates. They also have videos to watch on the internet and are amazing to watch. If you want a tour please call first. It's a wonderful place to see how chocolates and candy are made.

We are artisan chocolatiers located in the quaint Village of Manlius. We create treats for you that are some what everage tasting for those that do not want to try new flavors, and we also create things that really push the barriers of explosive flavor. We really strive to find innovative ways of bringing wild tastes to your taste buds. All the while we do this we are creating an art with the chocolate so that it's appealing to the eyes since that's the first thing you eat with. We always have something for everyone! We have a display case full of beautiful edible unique treats as well as a large selection of different chocolate bars and some toffees and brittles. Just because we like to be different, we also make fresh fruit ice pops and the best ice cream sandwiches you will ever have. We made the fresh fruit pops with little to no sugar and we make and bake the cookies for the sandwiches as well as the ice cream. It's all made in house in the 1200 square foot building nestled behind the trees. Chances are if you come on a Saturday you will get a sample of what the owner is working on that day. We also create one of a kind cakes with flavor profiles mimicking our chocolates. Those are on a special order basis only.
Excellent handmade chocolate. Dark chocolate with espresso ganache is very good. Not inexpensive. Many choices.

The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation is dedicated to educating current and future generations about Gage’s work and its power to drive contemporary social change. At the heart of our mission is the story of Matilda Joslyn Gage, a progressive visionary of women’s rights and human liberation and an often unacknowledged leader who, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, wrote the arguments, inspired the passions, and organized the political action of the 19th century woman suffrage movement in the United States. Unlike traditional historic house museums, the Center is designed to be a place of inspiration and engagement. We encourage visitors to sit on the furniture, play the 19th century piano, and even write on the walls!
The house was lovely and very well-preserved with most of the original architecture. An interesting tour, but the tour guides seemed biased and suggested that Matilda Joslyn Gage was alone in supporting the Women's Movement, and no one else was involved

We stopped through Manlius on our road trip through upstate New York as part of a detour to do some genealogical research. We stopped by this museum both on a Sunday, Aug. 28th afternoon and then returned the next day Aug 29th, again in the early afternoon.
It was closed both times. We were disappointed to find it closed, with no hours posted or any sign with further information. It is too bad that we had to move on with our road trip and were unable to try yet a third time to see this museum. We were hoping to learn more about the local history and how it might possibly pertain to some of our relatives who were present during the founding of Manlius and its settlement.
I would recommend that others try to see it. I would further recommend that the Manlius Historical Society invest in a sign on site which posts the museum's hours or means to contact the curator for a visit.

This little place in Fayetteville, NY has only been in business for a short period of time, but is one of the most interesting places that I have encountered in my travels. If you have any sort of skills in cooking, this is the place to visit. Michelle Watts, the owner, has put together an amazing collection of artisanal olive oils and balsamic that would delight the most jaded of tastes. The selection includes such things as Jalapeno white balsamic, and Spanish and French vinegars. Go to the website and look for demo's on YouTube. There are two other locations in the Syracuse, NY area, so check them out if you happen to be travelling in that area.
