Discover the Greater Cooperstown Area: where history, nature, and culture come together
Welcome to the greater Cooperstown area—a one-stoplight village with outsized charm nestled in the heart of rural upstate New York. Known as the “Village of Museums,” the region is home to the iconic National Baseball Hall of Fame, Fenimore Art Museum, and one of the country’s oldest living history sites. Surrounding towns like Oneonta bring funky, college-town energy to the mix. Stroll scenic lakesides, ride the Charlotte Valley Railroad, or enjoy local flavor at Fly Creek Cider Mill and Brooks' BBQ. With inclusive lodging and efforts to improve accessibility, this is a destination that celebrates heritage, hospitality, and discovery for all.
