The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein visited Taughannock Falls in 1949 while spending some time at Cornell University in Ithaca. I had imagined it to myself for years, but only today I thought to look it up online. Much more impressive than I had imagined.
I still don't understand why people relate Taughannock Falls with Ithaca NY?? It's not within the City limits of Ithaca nor is it even located in the Town of Ithaca. It's in the Town of Ulysses in Trumansburg, NY.
Born in Ithaca, lived first 25 years in Tompkins County, graduated T-burg, but in the fifty+ years since living throughout NYS I have learned to accept that the bigger picture is "the greater Ithaca area" in which most travelers include all of Tompkins County.
I love the Ithaca area. Buttermilk falls and Robert freeman state parks are just beautiful

I went to grad school at Cornell Triphammer is my favorite fall in campus.
In very dry summers, Taughannock Falls completely dries up! There is no water falling over the precipice!
Is there public transportation in that area? Thank you.
Hello. How far are these places from E. Seneca Street? I will be taking public transportation.
Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca is actually taller (165') than Ithaca Falls (150').

Because the closest big city to the falls is Ithaca.
