The Finger Lakes Museum Trail offers wonderful places to take the kids all year long.
The “connectivity” of the Finger Lakes Museum Trail makes it easy for families to use. Not only that, but seeing the people and places they’ve learned about during the school year, in a museum setting, deepens kids’ understanding of their country’s history and gives them the chance to learn more about topics they’re interested in. Traversing the Trail also gives families the opportunity to explore the natural beauty and interesting geography of the Finger Lakes Region in ways they might not have before.
