This is the childhood home of Lucille Ball that had been restored to what it may have looked like…read morewhen Lucy grew up there. She had resided here with her mother and grandparents along with her brother Fred. The area is known as Celoron and not far from that home is the Lucille Ball memorial park. Lucy used to work at that park when it was a small amusement park by the lake. The house is painted in a bright blue but what stands out is the polka dot garage door and the lopsided barbecue in the back. The barbecue was probably inspired from one of the last "I love Lucy" episodes. Note-the residence is a private dwelling and people live here. For this reason, you are asked to be respectul of the property. More information can be found on their website which also happens to be attached to the front entry door. Definitely worth a quick photo opportunity.

Though the City of Warren Municipal Building, having been erected in 1912, is hardly historic, it is to my eyes one of the finest most well balanced examples of Federalist Architecture I've seen. There is little note of it on the Internet or in any publications, but should you see it, I'm sure you will agree, which is the reason I'm Yelping it out.

The ground level contained a gift shop, several rooms with antique furniture, and a room that contained a timeline of Jamestown and Chautauqua county history as well as locally made items. Some of the exhibits upstairs included a furniture room, an upside down Christmas tree, a toy room, observation tower, Lucille Ball photographs, and more. Some of the exhibits on the lower level (basement) included an old kitchen, Swedish Roo, Underground Railroad information, and farming tools. There were docents spread throughout the museum, and QR codes to watch videos on the items in each room. Overall worth the visit!

Here there are a lot of stairs. There is no way to maneuver most of the building if you cannot do the stairs. No elevator. I went in July, it was so hot in the building. Might want to try it in the winter time. Also the lighting is poor.

I probably spent 30 minutes looking through the brochures here. They also have a bulletin board with events in the area but unfortunately it doesn't look like it gets updated . The majority of the flyers were from July and it is now October . It would have been nice to see current events and things happening in the area . They have vending machines and they even have a microwave for people to use, which is unique and very thoughtful. There is a button you can push inside if you need the police, so that helps with a feeling of safety and I did see a red and white sheriff's vehicle parked there with two deputies inside on my visit. There are lots of tables outside with chairs and a grassy area where you can take your pets. Plus the view of the water is very beautiful, especially right now with all the fall foliage.

You can book tours to go through and see the process of how they take care of and breed them. When they have the big fish they have out quarter machines and cups so you can feed them! It's beautiful to see the big fish swarming all metallic in the sun beams. My niece and nephew are 5 and 3, they think it's the coolest thing ever. If you bring little ones it's up to you to parent them and keep them safe. There aren't gates around all the ponds. It's in a small town where parents still pay more attention to their kids than their phones. I was there yesterday and they didn't have out the vending machines. The big fish had already been sent out to restock the lakes. They still had the baby fish that swarmed near you when you walked by. That was fun to see. There is a cute gazebo and free parking. If you're in the area with some time to kill check it out and take the little walk around it. Maybe you'll learn somthing :)

Seriously, who visits libraries when visiting a new town? *small voice* I do…read more With a few hours to fill, we decided to stop in at the Prendergast Library to stay out of the sun and check the place out, so to speak. The historic exterior beckoned to me, as the building has been up since 1889. I love how this library is truly the cornerstone of the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System and is just a great addition to Jamestown as a whole. Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was the stacks. There are two floors full of books of various subjects and content. Use the stairs off to the side to peruse the selections. The main library floor is an open concept, and there is a bridge connecting the two sides of the second floor. You'll have to visit to really see what I mean on this one, but it's worth the visit, I promise. The big draw for us, seeing as our library cards are for another library system, was the huge used book sale. The cheapest paperbacks started at $.50 and ranged to $2 for hardcovers. We found some amazing hidden treasures that were clearly donated over the years, to our benefit. It was like the used bookstore selection of my dreams, albeit on a much smaller scale. The only thing I didn't love about it was that the sale shelves clearly held circulating materials once, which pulls at my library nerd heartstrings, but I digress. At least when I went upstairs there were a ton of materials available, some of which clearly hadn't been checked out in awhile. Boost the circulation statistics! I was amused by the microfilm machine available for use, and even more impressed by the big puzzle they set out for patrons to assemble as a way of de-stressing. What a great idea for patrons who just need to relax and use their brains at the same time! I want to see puzzles in every library, though I advocate a more user friendly microfilm to go with it. I can't even tell you how often I've come so close to destroying archived periodicals. Finally, the library does have a dedicated children's room, but no dedicated teen space. This may just be a product of the users, but it's something I'd like to see in a central branch library. The young adult materials are mixed in on the second floor, but do have their own shelves. I'd happily spend some time in this library again if I ever find myself both in Jamestown and with some hours to fill. Keep up the good work, Prendergast Library!
