Visit the Chosen Home of Harriet Tubman

Where you choose to spend your time matters. Harriet Tubman chose Cayuga County in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. As the most famous conductor of the underground railroad, she was constantly on the move between Canada and Maryland. In that time, she rarely had an opportunity to establish a home base for herself. Until she came here. A visit to the Finger Lakes will take back in time with a visit to the Seward House Museum and the Cayuga Museum. You will experience “Broadway in the Finger Lakes” at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, taste world class wines and indulge in local cuisine.

Finger Lakes Visitor Connection
When you close your eyes, where do you want to be? Do you hear a lake softly lapping against the shore, or see sunlight glittering against the water? Your friends next to you, laughing and clinking their glasses of wine. Maybe it's the soft sound of snow rustling winter pine trees, or the cold air rushing by as you ski down a mountain. Others may smell the rich scent of dinner cooking from an open kitchen, or taste the sweetness of a fresh baked pastry with a hot coffee. Some dream of a fall-wonderland, where trees of gold, red, and orange bejewel the hillsides. If any of this sounds like a dream experience, you can find it in Ontario County!
