MONTEZUMA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

Another really interesting destination less than an hour from Aubergine Bed and Breakfast is Montezuma, right off Rtes. 5 and 20 in Seneca Falls.  If you love birdwatching, this is the place for you: over 9,000 acres of nesting spots and feeding areas for migratory birds.  There are walking trails, or you can take the 3.5 mile Wildlife Drive.  There is also a Visitor Center, observations towers and educational programs.

For some reason I cannot upload this really cool picture I took of the statue of a bald eagle they have there, but visit their website and you can see what I'm talking about.  Better yet, come visit and take a day trip!

I wish Penn Yan would let me raise chickens!  But fortunately the local farmers provide the very freshest eggs. I buy my meats locally, and, although on my bucket list is...

 GENESEE COUNTRY VILLAGE & MUSEUM Mumford, NY Just an hour's drive from Aubergine Bed and Breakfast, this is a living, working 19th century village.  You can visit the potter, cooper, blacksmith, historic kitchens and a working brewery.  It is open May to October with special events all year long.  There are farm animals, the John L.
