JamestownJamestown,is a small town with big character. It was originally settled in 1810 and has a rich history that has shaped its unique personality. One of the most notable things about Jamestown is its connection to the famous comedian and actor, Lucille Ball, who was born and raised there. In my opinion, this adds to the town's quirky charm. But don't let the town's size fool you, there is plenty to do and see in Jamestown. From its picturesque scenery to its bustling downtown area.

Robert H. Jackson CenterRobert H. Jackson Center, a veritable gold mine of knowledge for anyone interested in law and justice. With its impressive collection of records, artifacts, and exhibits, the center takes visitors on a journey through the life and legacy of one of America's most influential Supreme Court justices. As someone with a passion for the legal system, I can't recommend the Robert H. Jackson Center enough. Not only is it fascinating from an educational standpoint, but it's also a great place.

Chadakoin RiverThe Chadakoin River may not be the longest or widest body of water in Chautauqua, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in personality. This quirky little river has quite a bit of character and is a great spot for fishing and kayaking. Plus, it's one of the few rivers in the area that actually flows south instead of north. But don't let its charm fool you - the Chadakoin has been known to flood during heavy rain, so make sure you keep an eye on the weather report before making any plans.
