Hope your folks got to tour Watkins Glen State Park while in the area - it's beautiful, particularly in the autumn when the leaves have turned. The International Research Librarty is wonderful, glad that was a stop.

Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and explore New York’s unique Finger Lakes region from behind the wheel of your favorite car? That’s the idea behind our inaugural Classic Motorsports Empire State Tour, taking place this week July 14-19.
Today, July 18, marks the final day of the tour, though that doesn’t mean we’re winding down on the excitement.
The first stop of the day is the Finger Lakes Boating Museum in Hammondsport, which is dedicated to preserving the area’s wooden boat crafting heritage.

Then our guests drove up through to Bully Hill Vineyards to enjoy lunch with stunning lakeview vistas as well as a guided tasting of the vineyard’s wines.

Before heading back to the Hotel Ithaca, our tour participants visited the Glenn H. Curtiss Aviation Museum. While the 60,000-square-foot facility does house several aircraft and aircraft engines–namely the works of Glenn Curtiss, a contemporary and sometimes rival of the Wright Brothers–the museum also features vintage motorcycles and automobiles.

Once back at the hotel, tour guests were treated to a farewell dinner before we all go our separate ways in the morning.
Classic Motorsports offers a sincere thank you to everyone who participated in our first-ever Empire State Tour and we look forward to seeing you all again at one of our upcoming road tours.

In reply to Jim Pettengill :
We did not visit the state park but we did visit a few waterfalls along the tour route. It is a beautiful area that I'm excited to go back to and visit in the future.
