#66: Float Your Kid’s Boat at the Finger Lakes Boating Museum

Finger Lakes Boating Museum, Hammondsport

Finger Lakes Boating Museum

What a great place to learn about boats and view the many types of boats all in one place. The Museum Collection has now grown to more than 150 boats built by many of the 40+ commercial builders identified as having built boats throughout the Finger Lakes Region during the last century. Enjoy 3 floors of the Historic former Taylor Wine building to explore several exhibit spaces and a new wing renovated in 2015.  You and your kids can see canoes, rowboats, row outboards, outboard runabouts, in-boards, hydroplane and sailboats; as well as many related artifacts and ephemera. The main building contains an active boat shop where visitors are able to see restoration projects underway.
