Be enchanted by The Charming Village of Cooperstown

Enjoy a genuine small-town atmosphere and beautiful views of the countryside in this historic New England village, which is nestled on the shore of Otsego Lake. Cooperstown is best known as the home of the shrine for America's favorite pastime, the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. Stroll quaint baseball souvenir shops along Main Street and catch a game at Doubleday Field. But there's also plenty to do for travelers who aren't baseball fans. Discover unique art and history museums, plus excellent fishing and water sports on the lake. The Village's small size belies a smart collection of boutiques, restaurants, and live entertainment. From year-round festivals to the famous Ommegang Brewery, the Village of Cooperstown is a captivating vacation playground.
