1 Cattaraugus County Historical Museum, 9824 Route 16, Machias (about 7.5 miles north of downtown Franklinville), ☏ +1 716 353-8200.

The Howe-Prescott House is one of the oldest extant buildings in the area: it was erected circa 1814 by a family of prominent abolitionists (a movement that was extraordinarily strong in the hamlet of Cadiz, just a short distance south of Franklinville village center) and served as a station on the Underground Railroad in the years before the Civil War. Under the ownership of the Ischua Valley Historical Society, nowadays it's done up as a pioneer homestead, with exhibits and demonstrations illustrating life in the very earliest days of white settlement in Western New York.

3 Miner's Cabin, 9 Pine St., ☏ +1 716 676-2590. Open during Maple Festival and special Open House events, as well as Sundays Jun-Aug by appointment. Quite the misnomer: no hardscrabble log dwelling, this turreted, three-story Queen Anne beauty was built in 1895 for Simeon Robbins, a local resident who struck it rich during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon, hence its name. It's been restored by the Ischua Valley Historical Society to its original appearance — the first floor is fully furnished with antique furniture, while the upper floors are given over to historical exhibit

體驗活動

1 Ischua Valley Country Club, 8093 Route 16, Farmersville (about 1½ miles north of downtown Franklinville), ☏ +1 716 676-3630. Golf course daily 7AM-sunset, everything else M-Th 11AM-9PM, F-Sa 11AM-10PM, Su 11AM-8PM. Far from the hoity-toity, members-only affair you usually think of when you hear "country club", at Ischua Valley everything's friendly, down-to-earth, and open to the public. Bisected by the lovely Ischua Creek, the club's 9-hole, par-36 golf course becomes 18 holes and par 72 when you realize that each hole has two different sets of tees — play through twice for a different scenario each time! If golf isn't your game, Ischua Valley has also got a bowling alley, and if you're hungry, the fish fry at the onsite restaurant is renowned. (updated Jan 2018) 2 Skateland of Franklinville, 70 S. Main St., ☏ +1 716 676-2655. Skating F-Sa 7PM-10:30PM, Su 2PM-4:30PM, also Sa 2PM-4:30PM Oct-May only; Passions Dance Club F 8PM-10PM & Sa 10PM-midnight. To call Skateland an old-fashioned roller rink would be to sell it short: this Franklinville perennial on the cusp of its fourth decade of existence is a youth hangout of a multifaceted bent. Not only roller skating but also laser tag, a video arcade, inline hockey, and (in the summer) outdoor batting cages and a go-kart track are on offer. And on Friday and Saturday nights, the skating hall becomes Passions, Cattaraugus County's only teen dance club. (updated Dec 2017) Western New York Maple Festival, ☏ +1 716 557-2498. Held annually during the last weekend of April each year since 1962, the festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the village each year. It showcases local area maple producers and their maple syrup and maple products. The event is highlighted by a pageant, a parade, pancake breakfast, ham and leek dinner, trade show, craft fair and dozens of vendors. (updated Dec 2017)

1 Frankeez, 100 S. Main St., ☏ +1 716 676-2333. Daily 11AM-9PM. Frankeez is open all year round, but the menu says "SUMMER" in big bold capital letters: served at this casual walk-up snack bar (with limited indoor seating) is a modest but delicious range of simple fare from off the grill and out of the deep fryer. The order of the day is burgers, hot dogs, chicken wings and fingers, fries and onion rings, and — above all — delicious hard and soft-serve ice cream that's the perfect way to cool down on a hot day. The loaded chili cheese fries are a must. $5-15. (updated Jan 2018) 2 Jackie's Village Restaurant, 9 Elm St., ☏ +1 716 676-9973. Just a stone's throw from Park Square is where you'll find this "where everybody knows your name" type of place, where good old-fashioned homestyle American comfort food (think meatloaf, mac & cheese, and scratch-made soup of the day) is served by "the kind [of people] that know everybody's normal order". Don't worry, though: even if you're not from around these parts, the service is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty — especially the home fries ser
