Niagara Falls/ Ontario – More bonus content

We left Burlington, Vermont bright and early in the morning to go all the way to Niagara Falls – but before we got to Niagara Falls, we were going to make a side trip to LeRoy, New York where we heard there is a JELL-O museum! Yes, a whole museum about JELL-O! JELL-O was invented in LeRoy and all JELL-O was manufactured there until 1964, when they moved it to Dover, Delaware. The old building is still there in LeRoy and we were asking the museum worker there how much that impacted the town. She said there were a lot of people in the town that had to choose whether they were moving to Dover or staying in LeRoy. She was in Kindergarten at the time but remembers it clearly. Mostly because her best friend’s family was one of the families that moved to Dover so she was sad.

We got to Niagara Falls in time to get some pictures while it was still light. We had originally planned to stay two nights at the falls, but the spreadsheet got adjusted before we left when we added a night in Camden, Maine. We didn’t have much time there, but we made the most of it!

Maybe they need a flavor graveyard like Ben & Jerry’s had. Check out 1965 – seasoned tomato and Italian salad flavors?!?! What were they thinking?
American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls
Horseshoe or Canadian Falls
Making the most out of our short time at Niagara Falls, we opted to have dinner with a view.

  1. Helloooo! “Seasoned tomato jello” equals tomato aspic, a fine summer brunch addition back in the day! Have you not had it? To have it available in an instant packet would have been one of those fine labor-saving advances that people were so fond of in the 50s and 60s!

    • Ewww no. I have not had it. It does not sound great! But, I get labor saving advances! Maybe if it was still around I might actually try it. Maybe. If you were there with me, Mev! 🙂
