We saw the fog lifting from the mouth of the Susquehanna River and decided to head down to Council Rock Park to check it out after buying coffee and pastry at Schneider's Bakery - fantastic, peaceful place to enjoy the early morning!

Although I have been to the Hall of Fame several times over the past several years, it never gets old and it's constantly being updated. On this visit I ventured to the 3rd floor for the first time in a few years and was impressed with the amazing exhibits on stadiums, statistics and new interactive displays. The actuall Hall was decorated for the Christmas season and there were many displays celebrating the 2017 World Champion Houston Astros. Although the World Series exhibit won't be open for a while, there were highlights of the game playing :) Overall a great visit and definitely worth the trip from anywhere for true baseball fans.

Living history museum re-creates 19th-century rural life, complete with craftspeople demonstrating rural trades and skills in the restored buildings of an 1845 village.

We stop here even when we don't have kids or grandchildren with us. The museum and the 1840's village take you back to when upstate New York was rural and almost entirely agricultural. The re-enactors are knowledgeable and friendly, as are the sheep, goats, poultry, swine, cattle, and horses. Well, the goats are not that knowledgeable. $10.50 for senior citizens.

The Kenimore Museum is a nice little museum with lots to see and experience. The museum packs a lot exhibits and ideas into a small space. It is three floors of interesting art. The second floor which serves as the main floor is dedicated to American art and the Hudson River School works, the bottom floor is dedicated to Native American Art through the Thaw Foundation donation. The Third Floor has modern era art and special exhibitions, this time being of wood carvings. The views through the windows are of the grounds and the lake and it is just beautiful especially this time of year with the foliage change. You could spend several hours in this museum just admiring the works and seeing how the collections are mounted. The works are very interesting so take time out to see and experience the whole place.
