New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

The American Civil War Memorial pays tribute to the sacrifice made by citizens of Waterloo during the Civil War, and recognizes the soldiers from the North and the South who gave their lives in the conflict. The Memorial includes individual cenotaphs for each man from Waterloo who died in the Civil War and a North South Cenotaph constructed of stones sent from the 36 States of 1865.

Pet cemetery is always clean & well taken care of. Parking is small, but never seem to have an issue, for people come & go in enough time for others to pay their respects.

The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National Monument in 1924 and restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986.
We have been up to the Statue of Liberty on a previous visit but only sailed by on a boat. The island visit is definitely worth it, we went across from Battery Park on the ferry and went on to Liberty Island, the views of Manhatten are fantastic and seeing the Statue of Liberty so close up is amazing. Definitely worth a trip.

A bronze memorial of Civil War soldiers located across from Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
Every day, thousands, maybe tens of thousands, drive around this interesting bit of history without an upward glance at the Arch. Although the Arch is often taken to be synonymous with Grand Army Plaza, it is only one "part" of the Plaza, and it is certainly its centerpiece. The Arch was dedicated in 1892 "to the Defenders of the Union, 1861-1865." Up until the early 2000s, there was a stairway to an observation deck! The sculptures at the top are symbolic of war, victory, and peace.
