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!

Great place to spend an afternoon. This is a self-guided tour. Once you pay your $10 you're on your own. Con's - there has to be something bad about every place you go. 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. Lots of things to read, but could not see what was written on the cards. wanted to know more about sometimes, but there was no information on and no one to ask.

Located on the banks of the Allegheny River at the corner of Hickory and Pennsylvania Avenue and complimented by a music park offering outdoor concerts it offers a taste of history and culture as well as local flavor. From the park one can see the Four Flags, being the American, the flag of the Seneca Nation, the French fleur de lis and the British Union Jack representing each of the governing bodies that now or previously claimed the area as its own. Soldiers and Sailors is indeed a magnificent little piece of green space park for a city to have.

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!
