- BoardingPass3976773 contributionsReally enjoyed our visit . Great staff, very helpful and friendly.

- steve o3 contributionsThere are many exhibits, props, pictures of both the show and the personal lives of Lucy and Desi. I learned a lot of things. I highly recommend this museum.Written October 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Shirley AElkton, MD142 contributionsThis was my second visit to her grave and paying respects to a favorite comedian was bittersweet. So glad her family sent her to be buried with her family and me me wonder if either of her children would be inclined to be with her or with Desi.
I may be in the minority with my opinion, but I feel it’s disrespectful that prior visitors wrote messages to her on the walkway and a heart was drawn at the bottom of her headstone in red lipstick.Written October 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I love the salted caramels! And the turtles were delicious.
Love to visit small businesses on our trips and this is a good place to check out.Written October 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The home of a former governor of NY state is well maintained. The most unique displays were in the basement. See how they plowed the streets in the late 1800's early 1900's. There is a beautiful collection of antique buttons from men's and women's garments which I have never seen anything like it in all the mansions I have toured. My husband enjoyed the display of early automobiles and how car racing got its start in the area. (I think that was a travelling display, not sure if it is there all the time.)
I have also used the historic library to research other old photos of building in Jamestown. It is a nice size without being too long for those that are older and can not stand for long periods of time. The special event days throughout the year are worth attending too.Written October 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our tour guide (Burt) was great. We really had no idea about Jackson, but by the time we left, we were amazed. Our stay was about 1 1/2hr and well worth it. If you are in the area I recommend you coming here.Written March 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pshurdEverywhere USA906 contributionsFriends took us to see Liberty, the captive wounded eagle and we took the short trail to the Wildlife viewing area. It is well maintained with viewing platforms & benches. Definitely worth the stop & seems to be expanding too.Written July 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BJB5Jamestown, New York, United States34 contributionsIf you are looking for a place to get some great local hockey and be super comfortable, head to the rink.

We went to the Comedy Center and went sledding.. 30 yr old bodies do not recover as fast as 20 yr old bodies!Written August 26, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MrClean392Charles Town, WV3 contributionsSpending a weekend in the Jamestown area, and happened upon a real gem! Met Mic, the proprietor, and the rest of the staff, and they treated us like family. We so thoroughly enjoyed our short time spent with them. From the screening of "Thankskilling", to a tour of the facility, to taking over as the DJ, and just getting to know some really great folks, it was an experience that we'll not soon forget. I would not hesitate to visit again, to recommend a visit, or to recommend the spirits to anyone.
Thanks so much Mic and the rest of the crew! Dex and I look forward to our next visit to the area!Written November 15, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
