Visit some small museums in New York State
Arkell Museum by Bakrell1 vis Wikicommons While driving across New York following the Erie Canal, I had the opportunity to stop at some of the smaller museums that are often missed by tourists. This is one of favorite things about taking a road trip, getting to see the places that many people just drive right by. These are often hidden gems of art or pieces of history that are not well known.
