"Fantastic. Sue Perkins is a treasure trove of knowledge. Beautiful building!"
"The ride to the musem brought you past many beautiful, old buildings."
"I don't recall this in the guidebook, but it was well worth the stop. For those cycling the Erie Canal Trail, this should be a 'must'. Upstairs was a high-wheel bike that was ridden across the country. (The first?). Beautiful architecture, nice museum, inexpensive souvenirs. The ride to the musem brought you past many beautiful, old buildings. Loved it."
