Corning, New York, After the rally in Goshen, Indiana we set off to Ohio and met up with Don and Rosie. We spent a couple of days relaxing and getting caught up with things and did a little sightseeing of the area in Ohio then pushed eastward to New York, Knowing that there are many vineyards in the Finger Lake area we have decided to do them a little at a time. If you know how tasting is done and there are about 100+ It could get a little happy around the campfire at the end of the day. Least to say a designated driver is very needed. So our first adventure was to Corning, New York to the Glass Museum. This is no ordinary museum, we spent the whole day there and enjoyed every minute of the gallery. Many glass sculptures on display from famous to local glass blowers. Thirty Five Centuries of glass art and history are within this museum. Many pieces on display range from the ordinary bottles and dishes to the ornate lamps, tables and sculptures done for royalty or Tiffany Treasures and Steuben Glass. Yes, Corning Wear is made and sold here also. As for older patterns, you would have to look on line for them.
