In autumn, you can wander Cortland's back roads and take in some of our spectacular upstate color. Our rural heritage is evident in area harvest festivals like the Cincinnatus Corn Fest and the Great Cortland Pumpkinfest, a local cider mill and the annual New York State Draft Horse Association Show and Sale.

Each fall, Dwyer Memorial Park is the site of one of New York's largest antique and classic auto shows. For sportsmen, Cortland County has thousands of acres of state land available for hunting.
