We will begin our day with a visit to the MOUNT MORRIS DAM and Recreation Area - a major flood control project and public park located on the Genesee River near the Village of Mount Morris. Our visit includes a presentation by a representative of the Army Corps of Engineers at the DAM OVERLOOK, A 12 MINUTE MOVIE ABOUT THE DAM and time at the VISITOR CENTER which offers INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS featuring Mount Morris Dam History and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Next, we will drive to the beautiful LETCHWORTH STATE PARK - known as the GRAND CANYON OF THE EAST. Letchworth State Park is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs - as high as 600 feet in some places - surrounded by lush forests. We will have photo opportunities throughout the park as well as a stop at the fabulous waterfall. We will also have time to visit the WILLIAM PRYOR LETCHWORTH MUSEUM. This state park museum exhibits collections of Indian artifacts, Civilian Conservation Corps history, pioneer artifacts, pre-Revolution Council House, the Nancy Jemison cabin, and historic documents belonging to William Pryor Letchworth. After our SIT DOWN LUNCH AT GLEN IRIS INN, we will make our way to THE ABBEY OF THE GENESEE, the home of the Cistercian Monks. We will arrive in time to visit the 2:00 pm Chapel Monk's Chant. Be sure to stop at the GIFT SHOP to purchase several varieties of MONKS BREAD. We've included a cinnamon maple loaf to take home! Don't miss out on this beautiful fall "Dam Good Trip."
