If you want additional pictures and information about the hospital here, the website is www.cvph.org........The (broken link) hospital history is unique in that it was started by a philanthropist who invented coupling mechanisms for train cars and made millions. He and his wife had no children, so they began/built one of the best schools in the area, started this hospital, and the old homestead that they owned is now run by Cornell as a learning center for agriculture college students. It is called Heart's Delight Farm and is a great place to visit if you come up in August. There are the couple's cars, carriages, farm equipment and a working farm (dairy cows, cornfields, exhibits) for the students on the acreage. You feel as though you are stepping back in time.........There are other great areas with much larger themed Adirondack farm and history, but they are farther away and deeper in the Adirondacks (Blue Mountain Museum south of Lake Placid, NY), but this area is quaint and very closeby if you have the time. Don't know what your schedule will be like in August, but will be happy to send directions.........Also, for a close by picnic lakeside with a out in the country feel that is 5 minutes to the north of Pburgh, head to Pt. Au Roche state park (just off I-87). Miles of hiking trails, bike trails, walks along the lake, beaches, steep cliffs overlooking Lake Champlain, a deep bay for all the Canadian boats that come in, and even horses riding along.........It is also a wildlife sanctuary with Canadian geese, blue herons, a butterfly garden and not that many people know about it. You don't even need to pay to walk the trails...........only to visit the separate beach entrance. More info....let me know..........Also, you will be here when the bread and butter corn is coming in.......All the roadside stands will have it. It is best you will ever have.....all varieties.

Clarification: "Heart's Delight Farm" is now and has been since its inception in 1950 the "William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute" aka "Miner Institute". More importantly, it is NOT run by Cornell University though they do have a close relationship. It is endowed through the Miner Fundation as is CCRS and CVPH.
