Pick 3 - Niagara Falls
Jennifer Starkey
Communications Manager,
Niagara Tourism & Convention Corporation, Niagara Falls, N.Y.
"What are three great heritage experiences you would recommend for groups meeting in Niagara Falls?"
Murphy Orchards: With our community focusing on a more concentrated marketing effort for Niagara Falls' Underground Railroad history, Murphy Orchards is a unique heritage site for groups. Inside the barn on this 65-acre working family farm in Burt, N.Y., visitors can see the entrance to a secret room where abolitionist Charles McClew and his wife Libby sheltered escaping slaves between 1850 and 1861. Groups can also take guided Underground Railroad Heritage and agricultural tours, pick fruit, enjoy lunch or afternoon tea in the Tea Room and purchase delicious jams and jellies made on-site in the Country Store.
