Welcome to The Windmill Farm & Craft Market.  The Windmill is the first and friendliest farm and craft market in upstate New York, located right in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Region.  Midway between Penn Yan and Dundee on NY Route 14A, The Windmill has become a premier tourist attraction, with a weekly attendance exceeding 8,000 – 10,000 people.

After the beautiful ride through the Fingerlakes area, many folks start the day at The Windmill with a hearty breakfast, pick up some fresh produce then set out to explore the many shops. Later, enjoy a horse and buggy ride, take in a free show, finally have a relaxing lunch in our mini pine tree forest.

Discover the Erie Canal Museum

The Erie Canal Museum
318 Erie Boulevard East
Syracuse, NY 13202
315-471-0593

The Erie Canal Museum serves the general public from broad geographic areas. It maintains and enhances the scope and appeal of its canal-related educational programs, exhibits and collections. In 1986, Syracuse was selected as one of New York State Parks Department’s 14 Heritage Area communities because the city captures a unique facet of state history. ECM’s one-of-a-kind historic Weighlock Building and our Mission Statement led to ECM being invited to serve as the official Syracuse Heritage Area Visitor Center. As such, the ECM has since been acknowledged and promoted by the City of Syracuse as the place to learn local and state history. ECM also provides reference maps and brochures to Syracuse’s other cultural resources.
Admission to the Museum is Free
Donations are greatly appreciated
Open Mon. – Sat. 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sun. 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Multi-million copy selling Capitol recording artist and comedian Rodney Carrington continues to shine in 2008. He is back on tour full time, but still finding time to work on exciting new projects.  He recently finished filming on a major motion picture, “Beer For My Horses”, that he co-wrote and co-starred in with country music star Toby Keith. He also co-starred in the hit music video by Trace Adkins,  “I Got My Game On”, which is now up for three awards on the CMT Music Video Awards.  Rodney has been nominated in the final round of voting for “Character of the Year” for his role. Future plans for 2008 include the release of another album on Capitol Records of just songs expected to debut in late summer.
