A day visit to Cooperstown is a must for all baseball fans. This pretty small town, which is located on the shores of Otsego Lake in central New York State, is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum which showcases the history of baseball and honors the excellence of many of the most famous players.

Ardent fans can book the VIP Experience behind-the-scenes-tour. Getting to Cooperstown is half the fun – you can anticipate an extremely scenic drive through the beautiful Hudson Valley. Other Cooperstown attractions include the Fenimore Art Museum and the Farmer’s Museum which showcases farm life in the 19th century.
