As many as 2 million people visit the Taughannock Falls Overlook each year, in Taughannock Falls State Park in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State Parks; but few realize that over a century ago a beautiful 2 1/2 story tourist hotel stood nearby, the Taughannock House (also known as Halsey Hotel and the Cataract House). In this encore episode (162, from 2017) of Walk in the Park (public access TV series in Ithaca, NY) we look at this hotel and the archeology work done on its site prior to a wonderful renovation of the overlook area. We also see what was new at Fillmore Glen State Park, and head into the glen at Watkins Glen State Park.

Walk in the Park is a half-hour, non-commercial show produced in Ithaca NY by Tony Ingraham, Owl Gorge Productions, a Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance partner.
