After breakfast at the hotel we are off to experience the legacy of Lucille Ball in her hometown of Jamestown, NY. On the Lucy Town Tour you will see the home she was born and grew up in, the cemetery where she and her family rests and more. We’ll visit the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum and Desilu Studios where you get an inside look at the couple’s personal life and see the props, sets and costumes worn in the show. Here we will enjoy lunch in the Tropicana Room, a recreation of the nightclub that Ricky Ricardo owned on the I Love Lucy show.

This afternoon we visit the award-winning National Comedy Center, the first state-of-the art museum dedicated to telling the vital story of comedy in America.
