Traveling in our RV has taken us to many museums and art installations both small and large. Below is a summary of these posts.
- Where are we?
The temperature is approaching 100 degrees and we see what appears to be a sculpture of a larger than life horse and bull’s head off in the distance as we drive west on Route 90. These sculptures were visible from miles away and we were compelled to investigate. We took exit 374 for Montrose and… Read more: Where are we? - The Original 1845 Capitol of Albert County, New Brunswick
Just up the road from our campground in Lower Cape, New Brunswick, is the unique and special Albert County Museum & R.B. Bennett Commemorative Center featuring historical exhibits about the land, sea and people of Albert County scattered across eight original buildings on the original site of the 1845 Capital of Albert County, New Brunswick.… Read more: The Original 1845 Capitol of Albert County, New Brunswick - Montréal, Quebec
Founded in 1642, Montréal is the largest city in Quebec Province and the second-largest in Canada. Although Toronto surpassed Montréal in population and economic growth in the 1970s, the city remains an important center for education, art, culture, commerce, pharmaceuticals and tourism. We enjoyed a terrific visit to this home town of a dear friend… Read more: Montréal, Quebec - Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio
During our spring planning for this trip, with thanks to Roadtrippers, we scheduled a stop at the historic home of George Morris and Suzy Frelinghuysen in Lenox, Massachusetts. We had no knowledge of their artwork, or specific reason to visit other than we were passing by and had the time. The place looked interesting and… Read more: Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio - FDR Presidential Library and Museum
We have come to enjoy and now look for opportunities to visit Presidential Libraries . In each of the libraries we’ve visited so far (LBJ, Clinton, FDR), we have come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the men and politics of the time. FDR’s library and museum served to remind us of the… Read more: FDR Presidential Library and Museum - The Clark
By now you know that in addition to visiting National Parks and camping, we also enjoy visiting unique and interesting art installations. We travelled to The Clark Art Institute Museum specifically to see their outdoor exhibit Ground/Work2025, which Sue had read about prior to our trip. What we discovered is that The Clark is so… Read more: The Clark - Olana
Olana, located in Greenport, NY, was the home and estate of Fredric Edwin Church and his wife Isabel. Frederic Church is considered is one of the most famous landscape painters of the mid-19th century and Olana is a rare example of an American artist’s home, studio and estate that remained intact after the artist’s death.… Read more: Olana - National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
We stopped in Cooperstown, New York to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. As much as we both enjoy baseball -Joe played through high school- we probably would not have visited Cooperstown if it hadn’t been on our way from The Clark Art Institute to our main destination, Keuka Lake in the NY… Read more: National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum - Fenimore Art Museum
After touring the Baseball Hall of Fame, we travelled a short distance north along the Otsego Lake to the Fenimore Art Museum on land formerly owned by American writer, James Fenimore Cooper. The property was later purchased by Singer Manufacturing Company heir, Edward Severin Clark, whose brothers are Stephen Carlton Clark, who founded the Baseball… Read more: Fenimore Art Museum - Erie Canal Museum
We are heading west toward Pen Yan, NY to spend some time in Keuka Lake State Park and visit a few wineries. Since our route took us close to Syracuse, we decided to visit the Erie Canal Museum and we are glad that we did. It is difficult to imagine today but in the 1800’s… Read more: Erie Canal Museum - A Novel Glass Bridge!
We are visiting the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY for a second time. We had last visited in 2005 and much has changed in the intervening 20 years. The museum was established in 1951 as a not-for-profit to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Corning Glass. The museum is has two exhibit spaces, a… Read more: A Novel Glass Bridge! - An Early Conservationist
After visiting the Corning Glass Museum, we returned home for a few days before heading to Plymouth MA. The Kingsessing Morris Men, the team Joe dances with, were invited to a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Muddy River Morris Team. The event was scheduled for Saturday with arrival on Friday at Pinewoods Camp.… Read more: An Early Conservationist - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
This delayed post is from our Finger Lakes trip… We had stopped in Seneca Falls specifically to visit The Women’s Rights National Historical Site. Much to our surprise, we discovered that Seneca Falls is believed to have inspired the fictional town of Bedford Falls in the classic Christmas movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life” and that… Read more: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! - Women’s Rights National Historical Park
This delayed post is from our Finger Lakes trip… “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal.“ These words, written more than 177 years ago, still resound today. Especially now, in these seemingly misogynistic times, it behooves us to remain mindful of the long struggle by both women… Read more: Women’s Rights National Historical Park - Fallingwater
In late September, we started on a trip that would eventually take us to the East and West Coast Pleasureway Owners meet up in Branson, Mo. We attended this same rally two years ago. As with most of our trips, we meandered through a number of states visiting relatives and checking out interesting places along… Read more: Fallingwater - Fine Art and BBQ
We love and feel enriched by all the places our RV travels have taken us. One place in particular is The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art located in Bentonville, Arkansas. The Museum was established by Alice Walton, American billionaire and heiress to the fortune of Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart and Sam’s Club. The… Read more: Fine Art and BBQ - pə-DOO-kə, Kentucky Part 1
We were both excited to visit Paducah (pə-DOO-kə). Neither of us had ever been to this part of Kentucky before and Paducah was on our travel route to a few Harvest Hosts along the Bourbon Trail. The town’s name intrigued us. That’s one of the great advantages of RV travel—visiting all the locations “in-between” our… Read more: pə-DOO-kə, Kentucky Part 1 - Mammoth Cave- NOT!
RV travel requires rolling with the punches. During this trip, despite our best laid plans (and having the required reservations), we needed to change course when Mammoth Cave National Park closed due to the federal shutdown. We were so looking forward to visiting the cave – a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve –… Read more: Mammoth Cave- NOT! - Baseball Bats and Bourbon
Here it is late February 2026, and we are almost finished writing travel blogs for our 2025 journeys. We have one more location to share after this and updates to a few other posts so the site will not go completely dormant. Since we plan to leave for our first trip of the 2026 season… Read more: Baseball Bats and Bourbon - Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina, SK
It’s not often that a border crossing agent provides sightseeing guidance, but this museum was recommended to us as we crossed into Canada at Portal, ND. In response to the customary border crossing question ‘Where are you planning to visit?”, we told the Customs agent that we were heading to the T-Rex Discovery Center in… Read more: Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina, SK - Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Centre in Regina, SK
We are still in Regina visiting museums in the capital city of Saskatchewan. Today we are visiting the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Center. The modern day Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is equivalent to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. The RCMP’s formation is a complicated story primarily due to the complex way… Read more: Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Centre in Regina, SK - T-Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, SK
So why visit Eastend, Saskatchewan, pop. 607? First, it was a convenient stop on our way to Montana, second it’s very close to the site of the largest complete T-Rex dinosaur excavated-to-date. Both were important reasons to visit! Back when planning this trip, we identified the T-Rex Discovery Centre, a Royal Saskatchewan Museum, as a… Read more: T-Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, SK
