Side dishes include walking tours of local architecture and award-winning historic preservation, amazing museum of aviation and a presentation on Iroquois culture. Dessert is a visit to the study where Mark Twain wrote his most famous novels and a special feature all about the glassmaker, Frederick Carder, founder of Steuben Glass in 1903.
