Question on Auriesville

I am planning on taking my Youth Group to the Shrine of the North American Martyrs in Auriesville, NY this October (actually, we hope to be there on the Feast of St. Isaac). I want to know from those who have been there or who live nearby what else there is to do and see in that region. We are stopping at Niagara Falls on the way home, but that is about five hours away, I think. Are there any other interesting religious or civic/historic site to see within an hour and half drive from Auriesville?

Cardinal Ottaviani: "Recent reforms have amply demonstrated that fresh changes in the liturgy could lead to nothing but complete bewilderment on the part of the faithful who are already showing signs of restiveness and of an indubitable lessening of faith...errors against the Faith are not so much insinuated but rather an inevitable consequence of liturgical abuses and aberrations which have been given equal recognition. To abandon a liturgical tradition which for four centuries was both a sign and pledge of unity of worship is, we feel in conscience bound to proclaim, an incalculable error."
