Latest Jamestown hotel reviews
Jamestown, New York is where Lucille Ball first began her acting career, so this museum is there to honor her, as well as Desi. They have a small area in the back in which they show some of Lucy's history, which is interesting. Overall, the museum is small, but they have many of the actual costumes, props, etc. from the show with information about each. Also, they have so many items that they frequently have to rotate their displays, so you may not see the same items if you visit twice! The museum is also a gift/souvenir shop, so you can purchase various "I Love Lucy" memorabilia!

If you remember the original TV series then you're old enough to enjoy this place.
A couple of rooms packed with artifacts and memoribilia, sets and props from the TV series, posters, postcards. There is a host/hostess who has a spiel about the famous couple and the TV show. And then you are left to self-tour all the stuff.
It costs $5 and takes less than an hour of browsing before you are ready for some fresh air.
If you are not a big fan of Lucille Ball, then this may be something you want to skip and just go get a cup of coffee.
There also is a Theatre (where they have recreations of the TV series) on Third Street and a Gift Shop (where you can buy copies of artifacts and souveniers) on Main Street, all within walking distance and at extra cost.

The Reg Lenna Civic Center is where Lucille Ball, from "I Love Lucy" first began her acting and comedy career. You can set up a tour of the building and its history, which is quite interesting, if you want to learn about the theatre. However, the theatre is still operating as a theatre, so you can also purchase tickets to see a play! It's a nice theatre with a good view from just about any seat!

The Chautauqua Institute is a private estate that contains gorgeous victorian homes. The estate has an ampitheater, hotel, and a museum just to name a few. Be prepared to pay a small fee to enter if you are visiting during the summer season. Also, call and check if any special concerts or lectures will be going on the day you choose to visit because there are on most weekends.

If you are an I love Lucy fan this museum is a must. Jamestown is Lucille's hometown and this is right where the museum is located. It houses many of the dresses she and Desi wore on the show and has a lot of memorabilia.
