FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

Text printed on reverse of stereocard: This Glen is situated near the village of Havana, Schuyler County, N. Y. The latter point is accessible several times daily, by the trains of the Northern Central R. R., which connect with the Erie at Elmira, and at Canandaigua with the New York Central. Visitors coming by Steamers over Seneca Lake can take the Cars at Watkins, three miles from Havana, or may enjoy a pleasant drive of four miles from the Steamboat Landing at the entrance of the Glen.
