Bundy Museum

Bundy Museum and Roberson Center Trip

Message from Nancy Kocher (CCAL trip coordinator):

Hi All,

Happy Fall everyone!

I have a trip planned Saturday, November 19, 2016 to the Bundy Museum and the Roberson Museum and Science Center.  A signup form is attached below with all of the information. If you are taking the course, It’s About Time! The Bundy Manufacturing Co. & IBM’s Early History this trip would be a great way to see in person what the course is all about. 

The trip leaves Oneonta at 9:45 am returning by 6:00 pm on Sat., Nov. 19th. COST IS VERY REASONABLE at $44.00 per person. This includes transportation, both guided tours at the museums, the planetarium show, the Roberson mansion tour and the tips for both the bus driver and the docents. Lunch will be at your expense. 

We will have a guided tour of the Bundy Museum, if you are unable to do stairs (I must be informed when you register) so they can set up the museum room with the virtual tour of the mansion.  There is no elevator. We will go to lunch at a well know restaurant Little Venice in Binghamton. The restaurant was recommended by both museums and Eastern Travel.  The cost of lunch is on your own. The restaurant has reasonable price points and a great looking menu.  Google Little Venice in Binghamton to check it out.

After lunch we will visit the Roberson Museum & Science Center for a guided tour of the mansion, a self guided tour of the museum and we will also see the Planetarium Show.  The Museum and Science center continues to be locally, regionally and nationally recognized for it’s excellence in art, history and science education.   

ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS TRIP PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL: nancy.kocher1777@gmail.com OR CALL :607-263-2014.

The Roberson will be decorated for the holidays at this time, an added bonus!

I am working on a trip to the Bundy Museum  of History & Art in Binghamton, NY.  CCAL is offering a course, (It’s The Bundy Manufacturing Co. and IBM’s Early History) being given by Janna Rudler on October 7th that will take you through the history of IBM and the local people who started the company. I have decided to plan a trip to the museum, lunch and another museum in the afternoon. It is still in the working stage.

This trip will be in October and might be scheduled for a Saturday for those folks who may still be working.  Watch for the notice, I should finalize this soon.

You can enjoy the trip even if you are unable to make the CCAL class.  My email trip list has a number of people who like our trips but are not members of CCAL.  Please feel free to forward my email to friends and family regarding the next trip, all are welcome.
