We went to both the store in Cooperstown and the factory in Hartwick. Both experiences were enjoyable and made more so by our tour guide, Kyle, at the bat factory and our salesman, Kyle 2.0 (LOL), in the town. We really enjoyed seeing the bats be made one at a time. The programmable lathe was interesting but even more interesting was Kyle's ability to take the bat from the lathe and finish it for painting with practiced pro moves in a just a few seconds. He walked us through the process and answered our many questions with great interpersonal skills and a wonderful sense of humor. There are no 'set' tour times ... just show up but avoid lunch hour.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame is a nonprofit committed to preserving the history of America's pastime and celebrating the legendary players, managers, umpires and executives who have made the game a fan favorite for more than a century. Preserving History. Honoring Excellence. Connecting Generations.
Although I have been to the Hall of Fame several times over the past several years, it never gets old and it's constantly being updated. On this visit I ventured to the 3rd floor for the first time in a few years and was impressed with the amazing exhibits on stadiums, statistics and new interactive displays. The actuall Hall was decorated for the Christmas season and there were many displays celebrating the 2017 World Champion Houston Astros. Although the World Series exhibit won't be open for a while, there were highlights of the game playing :) Overall a great visit and definitely worth the trip from anywhere for true baseball fans.

Living history museum re-creates 19th-century rural life, complete with craftspeople demonstrating rural trades and skills in the restored buildings of an 1845 village.
We stop here even when we don't have kids or grandchildren with us. The museum and the 1840's village take you back to when upstate New York was rural and almost entirely agricultural. The re-enactors are knowledgeable and friendly, as are the sheep, goats, poultry, swine, cattle, and horses. Well, the goats are not that knowledgeable. $10.50 for senior citizens.

There's something for everyone at Glimmerglass S.P- two hiking trails, swimming and boating, and the oldest covered bridge in NY state. Beautiful and peaceful, especially after summer. Also be sure to visit Hyde Hall while you're here!

This 9,000-seat ballpark, owned by the Village of Cooperstown itself and located near the Baseball Hall of Fame, commemorates the reputed "birthplace of baseball."
The Abner Doubleday Field complex has an interesting early history and the stadium you see today saw it's 1st game in May of 1939. Just sitting in the covered backstop of the empty stadium you can envision all the players and fans from the different era's that graced this field. This place reminds you that baseball is a relatively simple game in the purest of terms and it's a shame how money and other documented things have stained the game a little.It is funny to think of the buildings that were sold to make extra room for the property, yet the houses right past the left field 296' marker that must get hit quite often. The property's behind the 360' right center wall as well as the 312' right field pole must also be under constant bombbardment. The last time we were in town in 1999, our family really enjoyed watching a game here. Baseball is truely "America's Pastime".
