Day 2-200 Resting in Ilion, NY

Rest day in the home of the Remington Arms Company? Sure, I got to sleep in, but then it was time to head to the museum...

The mission of the Remington Museum was to highlight the contribution of Remington to the development of firearms over nearly two centuries since the founding of the company in 1816. Although they did not talk about "research", the companies "designers" made many significant contributions to the continuing development of new types of firearms.

The museum did not have thousands of guns of all types on display, but they did a very good job of highlighting the contributions that Remington has made. That continued development has enabled this company based in a tiny upstate New York town to remain at the forefront of a huge industry worldwide.

The remainder of the day included lunch at a local diner and several errands, including things like buying postage stamps, etc.

Tomorrow, we will head on west (and up)...
