Who knew a one-stoplight town could have so much to offer? Cooperstown offers more fun and cultural attractions than you'd expect to find in a picturesque little village. For starters, there's the shrine to one of America's best-loved
sports. The world-famous
Baseball Hall of Fame displays thousands of artifacts, from uniforms worn by baseball legends to the very balls and bats used during record-breaking feats. During the summer months, you can watch games at historic Doubleday Field, where baseball was “invented.”
Take in Cooperstown's timeless charm on a stroll along the shop-lined lanes. About a mile from the center of town, visit
The Farmers' Museum, a recreated 19th-century village, or see
The Fenimore Art Museum's renowned folk art collection. You can enjoy acclaimed opera beside the lake at
Glimmerglass, described by the London Times as "the most magical of settings."
To refuel, grab a burger at a classic Main Street diner or enjoy a five-course dinner at
The Otesaga Resort, open since 1909. How about some brews? Tours at
Brewery Ommegang, a Belgian-style microbrewery, finish with beer tasting and Belgian chocolates.
