I am a regular visitor to Little Valley, due to research etc. You will find the area a treasure drove of cutlery. The museum has a web site and is being assisted by Brad Lockwood, "CASE relative" and author of Tested XX the CASE Dynasty. Lots of knife nuts there as well. If you surf the web for the knife museum, you will find several related sites. Let us know of your trip and enjoy. Visit the site of the CASE Bros plant, just a house now. It was for sale a year or so ago and I wanted it bad!!!! Just not that kind of money. Talk about the ultimate collectable!!!


Have fun

yes, ive been there a couple of times while visiting my sister who lives in randolph ny which is right down the road. i enjoyed it and i think even my wife and sister did..lol. its a really small town and they were really nice to us and it seemed like a really laid back place.
since youre going to be in the area, you should plan a trip over to bradford pa also and visit the case factory and store if you havent. its only about an hour and a half from there and they have alot of cool stuff to see as well. i took a tour of the case factory and saw how they made the knives from start to finish and learned alot and everyone was extremely friendly. they gave me some metal from knives they were going to make and a case coffee mug and a few other items, but no knife ...lol. anyway, the case store has a museum in it too with alot of vintage items, along with souvenirs for sale. anyway, i think you will enjoy your trip, i know i sure did.

The museum is nice a lot of Cattaraugus items and history----it's 10 miles from my house i donated some items last summer---felt good to do.It's worth the trip.----------------------------Fred The actual MUSEUM is in CATTARAUGUS,N.y. 7 miles from LITTLE VALLEY-----

its a great place to visit. believe it or not, me and my family was up visiting my sister and we had been out to amish country driving and looking around and we had been out there many times but this was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky so i decided to just drive around some more and look around and took a few roads that we hadnt been on and werent familiar with and ended up gettting lost.......not too many road signs out that way.....lol, and happened to end up on main street almost right in front of the museum. i didnt even see it at first and then my wife or sister said, look whats that place over there.......a knife store or museum? so i turned around to go see and went in for a visit. yall are right, great place with alot of history and the person working there was really nice as well. its not that big of a place, but i really enjoyed it.
