Even though I stopped by when it was foggy and overcast, I loved it. It's a nice, quiet walk in the woods, and the leaves were still vibrant and colorful. The artwork part of the trail was entertaining, too. The only thing is, if you appreciate indoor plumbing, you may want to use other facilities before visiting. They have an indoor bathroom, but it's a "nature-friendly" type. That won't stop me from visiting again when in the area.

The Homeville museum focuses on military and local history, the Brockway museum focuses on Brockway Trucks and their history here in Cortland, and also the Tractors of Yesteryear museum focuses on agricultural history. Three museums for the price of one!

There were rooms with all kinds of collections. The military displays covered the Civil War, WWI, Korea, WWII, Cold War, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. There is quite a display recounting the history of Brockway Trucks complete with several trucks on exhibit- some restored and some as found. There is also a separate barn with tractors and a room dedicated to the farm home kitchen and furnishings. They do rotate the exhibitions periodically.

The house is so hot and muggy. Not handicap accessible. Too many offices and not enough museum rooms.

This lovely old cemetery is a great place to visit, if you're visiting downtown Cortland for any reason. Its road, now uniquely referred to as 'cemetrails' feature interpretive signs with information on the cemetery's history, geology, artistic assets, and notable gravesites. Many of the large trees are also marked, by species. And the views are lovely...

Went to the Country Music Park with a Senior Citizen group - 1st hour is for dancing - would be
great if there were partners so everyone could dance. Because there aren't, most people just sit for an hour. Then we had a very nice chicken bbq dinner - then the show - Donna and the Mystics were very entertaining, great music. Then an intermission - then the 2nd part of the show. Sorry, people have to realize when it's time to retire -- music left much to be desired.
LONG day of sitting - almost 5 hours. Tables very close together and you are packed like
sardines.
