Set on the banks of the Chemung River in southern New York, Corning has earned a reputation as America’s ‘Most Fun Small Town’. Friendly residents, fantastic shopping and dining, beautiful natural surrounds and a kaleidoscope of cultural and leisure activities combine to make this a stellar vacation destination. It is also dubbed the ‘Crystal City’ due to its long association with glass. The Corning Glass Museum is an essential stop on your itinerary as it is the world’s largest museum devoted entirely to the medium. It houses a superb collection of ancient and modern glass creations that range from the exquisite to the bizarre.
