You'll soon be able to experience the wonders of the Corning Museum of Glass without filling up your gas tank for a three-hour trip to the central Southern Tier.
The museum is marking its 150th anniversary by launching a four-month tour of New York state with its GlassBarge. The barge features glassblowing demonstrations and will make more than 30 stops in communities along the Erie Canal and Hudson River between now and Labor Day weekend.
The itinerary includes six stops in the eight counties of Western New York - Holley, Lockport, Tonawanda, Buffalo, Middleport and Medina.
Free glassblowing demonstrations will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the days when the barge is in port. Visitors are encouraged to pre-register online.
Here is a schedule of stops in Western New York:
July 24th Holley Canal Park, Holley
July 28th & 29th Upson Park, Lockport
July 31st Gateway Harbor, Tonawanda
August 3rd - 5th Canalside, Buffalo
