The Utica Observer-Dispatch reports: Boonville Black River Canal Museum opens. Sort of. They don't have official hours of business yet but apparently they are open. Visit the museum website here. When I was a kid my parents used to take us to the Boonville Fair every year. I love upstate New York history and visiting the various museums both small and large. You can go to Syracuse to visit Saint Marie among the Iroquois, a recreation of a French Mission and the Erie Canal Museum. You can go to Cooperstown to visit the Farmer's Museum, Baseball Hall of Fame and James Fenimore Cooper's house. In Rome you can visit Ft. Stanwix fo the Revolutionary War era and the Erie Canal Village. And there's the new Adirondack Museum in Blue Mtn. Lake. In general they are all kid friendly, educational places. Some days I could be a commercial for NYS.
