hints of Clayton, NY

Home of the antique boat museum, Clayton, NY is also a gate-way port for the St. Lawrence seaway ... several, unique lighthouses guide the big boats past rocky shores at night.  


The town is home to it's own opera house, where you can enjoy seasonal performances from the likes of Los Lobos, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Dance Theatre Of Harlem, or the winners of the Cape Vincent Arts Council Chopin Piano Competition.    


Odd, touches of pseudo-classical architectural detailing abound (these two photos by Kim):  


Mural artists make a stunning, up-state canvas of Clayton, NY (another photo from Kim):


Tea houses here are as frequent as the ice-cream bistros (a 4th photo from Kim):
