Weird day trips from Buffalo
The strangest Buffalo finds are often a short drive out. These 5 day trips — The Springs Spa at Clifton Springs, Griffis Sculpture Park, Medina Culvert (Culvert Road) and more — are each hand-vetted and sourced: ghost towns, hot-spring soaks, roadside oddities, and odd small-town museums worth the gas. A weird day trip is its own kind of date.
