Join the Erie Canal Museum and Onondaga Historical Association for a day-long bus tour to Rochester, exploring the city's rich past. The bus leaves the Erie Canal Museum in Downtown Syracuse at 9am and first arrives at Mt. Hope Cemetery. There, guests will be treated to an hour and a half long tour highlighting some of the cemeteries' more well known graves like those of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, as well as lesser known internments related to the Erie Canal and Syracuse, plus guests can learn more about Mt. Hope's critical connection to the history of landscape architecture and horticulture. All guests on the trip will receive a boxed lunch from Prontofresh, which can be enjoyed between Mt. Hope Cemetery and the tour's next destination: the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House. Guests will then have an opportunity to tour Susan B. Anthony's residence for the last 40 years of her life as well as take a walking tour of the surrounding historic neighborhood. Following this, the bus will return to Syracuse by 5pm.
