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.

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.
4. The Farmers' Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 592 reviews
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.
Reviewed By davidwL3325MW
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.

Ok you can feed the crazy ducks on site but there’s much more to do. Nice laid out store for social distancing and they still give out free samples of wine and cider (max group of 4 at a time). You can pay $3 to sample the moonshine if you want. We bought a cider and some wine. Sizeable location with plenty to choose from and ice cream outside as well. Parking lot across the street.
8. Abner Doubleday Field

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."
Reviewed By W1702PJmarkg - Catonsville, United States
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".
