A Cross Country Odyssey - 2003
Corning Glass Museum, Corning, NY
A short distance south from Watkins Glen is the town of Corning, NY. There is a very large and well know glass museum there with glass works ranging from several thousands of years old to present day fine art pieces. It is a nice place to visit. We were there for 6 hours.
