    Corning Museum of Glass - Rhinoceros glass sculpture made by master glass-maker after a child's drawing

    We visited Corning Museum of Glass on a weekend getaway trip, and it was a must see! Parking is…read morefree; admissions was $25 for adults and $23 for seniors (62+). They have activities and events for all ages. I really enjoyed the demonstrations (glass making and the torching- I wish I got to see the glass breaking but missed it). I would give this place a good 3-5 hours, especially if you enjoy art. They have SO many items on display and activities to do. We even went back a second day! (Included in the admission ticket)

    My husband and I visited the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning last week after hearing great…read morethings about it from people who have visited. It's a large museum (larger than I was expecting) dedicated to the art, history, and science of glass. When you walk in, you enter the level with art galleries. There's some incredible art in these galleries - a few pieces by well known artists, but also just plenty of pieces that showed what artists are capable of when working with glass. As I walked around the galleries, other visitors probably heard me say, "THAT'S glass?!" From there, you move into the historical galleries, which is where they show some of their more than 50,000 glass objects, some over 3,500 years old. I didn't know when in history glass was invented or about the various cultures/people in history that put their stamp on work in glass, and I learned a lot from these galleries (which is organized chronologically and by nation). Then, one floor up, there are a few galleries dedicated to the science of glass: how it's made, how colored glass is made, and more. That's also where some (but not all) of the demonstration areas are. The museum offers demonstrations in different areas of glasswork throughout the day and in different areas of the museum: hot glass demo, glass breaking, flameworking, hot glass demo bubbleheads, and more. We stopped by the Innovation Center for the Flameworking demo, which was very cool to watch. The museum offers even more. In another building behind the museum, they have a building where you can make your own glass with the help of their staff. With several options (that vary in age required, cost, length of time), you can choose a project you want to work on and then come back to pick up your glass or have it shipped to you if you're not staying in the area. We decided to make glass flowers (ages 14+, $38/flower). You put on plenty of protective gear and then make a glass flower quickly with the help of staff. I can't wait to see ours (they shipped them quickly and they're supposed to arrive tomorrow according to tracking). Before we visited, I told a friend of mine we were going to visit the museum in a week or so. He told me I'd need six hours to fully enjoy it. I thought he was nuts, but now I can see why he said that. The Corning Museum of Glass is huge, and you can definitely spend a day here. It's an incredible museum and well worth a visit if you're in the area. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy it!

    Endless Mountains War Memorial Museum is located in rural Sonestown, Pennsylvania off the main…read moreroad. Outside the building are a Jeep, Howitzer, and several Flags. Parking is located along the road; it's a small town so it's not an issue. We came here during an event, when a mural was being dedicated, and a WWII veteran was speaking about his experiences. The museum has been open since 1998, charges no admission, and is supported by donations. Endless Mountains is not overly large; it's the size of two larger rooms. It is loaded with pieces ranging across several wars. Pieces in the collection vary from general equipment, knifes, medals, rifles, supplies, and uniforms spread across many displays. Many items have been donated by veterans and their families. You can walk through both rooms and literally not see everything; it takes two or three passes to even be close. The hallways are a little narrow so it can be hard to move around a few of the displays. Call ahead to make sure that Endless Mountains is open, as during the weekend they hold regular hours but it could change due to being at presentations. Weekday visits are by appointment. Social media is not updated and there website is rather basic. Considering this is a small rural museum, it's absolutely worth a visit for the sheer amount of history to look at and explore.

This is a diamond in the rough military museum for the ages and needs to be given more time to explore the items displayed and preserved ---- at least 4 hours to see/read everything on hand. Mr. Jack Craft has put together a military museum that not only reflects his love and enthusiasm for militaria (foreign and American), but also the pictures and stories of the veterans and civilians whose lives are reflected in the history displayed. This military museum, while off the beaten path, needs to be added to anyone's list of "must see" historical attractions and will be well worth the time spent. To Mr. Craft, in true naval vernacular, a "Bravo Zulu" is rendered ---- which means a job well done!
