On The Waterfront - Waddington, New York - Part 1

I've wanted to go visit the village of Waddington ever since I moved here. It's right on the mighty St. Lawrence River and hosts bass and carp fishing tournaments each summer. So one day I decided I'd procrastinated long enough. I hopped into the car and drove to Waddington. I knew I was there when I saw the old fashioned water tower:

There were more homes than I'd expected - nice homes, well kept - but I was looking for the business district:

I came to a highway and there saw the impressive, stone St. Mary's Catholic church:

And more homes, of course. There seemed to be more snow than I had at home, but that may simply have been because the houses were closer together and there was less room for the plows to push the snow:

I found St. Paul's Episcopal church, another impressive stone structure:

I thought this might be a church but instead, I learned that it was the Tourist Information and Town Museum building:

There were more brick homes than I usually see around here, and I began to conclude that Waddington was an upscale residential community:

Some homes were clearly historic:

I turned down Main Street, toward the St. Lawrence shore and passed the Waddington Hepburn Library:

The John C. Moore Museum looked like it was closed, but most town museums close for the winter to save heating costs. Or maybe the museum had been moved to the big stone building I'd seen earlier:

A lovely Victorian:

This appeared to be a historic stone home with improvements and an addition:

"A Touch Of Icing" coffee shoppe and cakery. But I was just getting started and will post Part 2 tomorrow:
