My mother and I had fun exploring every region of our home state.  Learn where the Leatherstocking region is and how it got its name.  Discover the oldest cattle ranch, Howe caverns and part of the Underground Railroad.  Visit the home of Harriet Tubman, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Jell-O too. 

This title is great for tourists as well as students studying New York State History.
