GASLIGHTS AND STEAM ENGINES TOUR

The trip begins in the beautiful gaslit village of Wyoming, accessible on Route 19 from Exit 47 on Interstate 90. This charming village has over 70 houses on the National Historic Register and is home to several unique stores and the Wyoming Inn B & B. A mile up the hill on East Bethany Road is the famous Hillside Inn, a full-service colonial inn with spacious rooms and grounds. Its gracious past incorporates the Women's Rights Movement and famous artists.

After you’ve spent some time in Wyoming, drive south to Warsaw on Route 19. Continue through Warsaw, noting the stately homes built by the salt barons at the turn of the century, as well as the monument district located near the county courthouse. Turn right on Rt. 20A and stop at the Gates House Museum (open 10-2) and learn about Warsaw’s prominence in the Underground Railroad freedom of the slaves. If you desire to horseback ride, call ahead to Wolcott Farms (585-786-3504) for scenic trail riding, a riding lesson and directions to the stable outside of Warsaw.

Continue west on Rt. 20A, turning south on Hermitage Rd. Either proceed to your riding or continue your drive to Weathersfield Rd, and head west past the Windmill Farm. These stately windmills were placed about 10 years ago, although many newer and larger windmills are visible as you continue your drive to Arcade. Continue west to Rt. 98 south. This road will take you into the Village of Arcade where you can take an afternoon excursion on the historic Arcade and Attica Steam Railroad. This 1 1/2 hour train trip takes you along a scenic stretch of track through the countryside and turns around at Currier’s train station.

Out of Arcade, head north on Route 98, continuing north on 77 to 20A and turn right. For golfers, a stop at Byrncliff Resort and Conference Center near Varysburg offers one of the most challenging and scenic courses available in the region.

Stop at some of the roadside stands for delicious, homegrown fresh produce on your way to dinner.
