Despite some timing hiccups with getting drinks served in a timely manner, and some sound issues from the actors, we had a good time.

I was encouraged by the number of people who attended. Both shows on Thursday night were just about sold out. When we left at 8:15pm (the show ran 45 minutes long due to aforementioned issues getting drinks served, the line waiting to go in to the second show was around the corner.

Turnout was phenomenal so lines were fairly long but went rather quickly. Our first choice was SILO Food Truck's Telekinetic Fried Chicken, perfectly crunchy chicken leg juicy tender center topped with a slightly spicy sauce and served with pickled carrots and white onions, tantalized the taste buds with the complimentary spice, sweet, and light pickle flavors. This truck will see me again! Followed that up with a grilled apple cider donut topped with apple pie topping and homemade cinnamon whipped cream from Glazed and Confused, (Bees wanted to share but I scarfed and swatted and ate the whole thing- smack smack slurp)the people's voted number one for sweet, and lastly real Italian ice from Muzzi's Italian Ice, perfect lemon and as authentic as it gets! And to think it all started with a dream a real dream that this is what they should do. Glad that dream happened! And these great people were the judges choice for sweet!! A few things we would have tried were out. They likely were very good also and I will seek them out to find out. Great event and thanks to the President of the Food Truck Association, Nick Sanford(Toss 'n Fire Owner), for organizing it all!

The thought of seeing things from Edison was sure appealing. The though of the laboratory where sound was added to film was interesting. So I went to the Museum. The Back door was open but I noticed a sign that said to go to the front door, the back was for deliveries. So to the font door. LOCKED. with a sign that said May 15th (two weeks away) while they put in a new exhibit. Disappointing at best. The building is nice from the outside. I wonder what is in there? The Case Film Lab in back - was also locked and who know why I was not allowed to enter. I wonder when I will be in this town again. Moral - or at lest recommendation - Call ahead

Genesee Street and very easy to walk to from the main part of town! The docent there, David, was so friendly and knowledgeable! He took the time to chat with us and show us around the museum. There are two parts to the museum - one focusing on the boats, and one focusing on the history of Skaneateles. Both were very interesting! Lots of pictures and artifacts to go along with the information. There is also a model of the lake that tells you about different spots around the lake and shows the watershed. No official admission fee, but there is a suggested donation of $5. Well worth the visit!

Make sure that Dave gives you the Tour! His wealth of knowledge and presentation are excellent.read more

I am glad that I came to this museum as it added to my knowledge of the Erie Canal. More than I thought I knew. Do check out the website ahead of time. It has some important information. One such thing is parking, if you are lucky enough, you will be able to snag a spot reserved for the museum parking in the city lot located across the street from the museum. Find the spots that are labeled "Visitor Center Parking," this place doubles as the visitor center as well. Otherwise, there is street parking available at a small cost. Also from the website you will find the hours and price for admission. Admission here is technically "pay-what-you-wish" meaning it can be whatever you feel an admission is. But they suggest $12 at the time of me writing this review. Once inside you will be greeted right away. The staff here is mostly volunteers but definitely know their stuff when it comes to the canal. I was given the layout of the museum and suggested where to go first. The museum is two floors and it is suggested to go through the first floor first, unless you need to use the restroom, those are upstairs. If that is what you need, you can start upstairs. I started off by just checking out the first areas of the exhibits and was approached by another volunteer who took me on quick once through about the canal and important dates and events that marked the opening of the canal. You also find out that the street in front of the museum is named Erie Boulevard because that was once the canal route. That is until it was rerouted. The things you learn when you just listen. Then I was sent on my way to make it through the museum. I went slow and took a lot of pictures so I could go back to them in case I missed something. I really enjoyed the set up of this museum. You go through an explanatory phase of the museum and then you get to explore set ups and walk through displays. Take some time to explore the canal boat as you can walk through it and see what it was like to travel by canal. Believe it or not, people still travel through the canal for leisure travel and they have had visitors here that have shown up via the canals. Once you complete the first floor, trek upstairs and take a look at the displays of the businesses of the day. Bar, pottery place, general store, and theater. All meticulously put together and showing what it was like back in the heyday. After you have taken in everything in the museum you can head outside and take in a bit more. On the canal side of the building you can view the boat inside and what the weigh station looked like. Street side there are a few things to check. Their garden area is beautiful and a nice place to catch some rest. Fun fact, Syracuse was a major stop on the canal because of all the salt. Hence their nickname The Salt City.
