Cooperstown is known for baseball, but that's not all. The museums near Cooperstown are amazing places to visit as well.
1. Baseball Hall of Fame: Of course a visit to Cooperstown would not be complete without a visit to The Baseball Hall of Fame. The museum is filled with memorabilia from Americas Past Time. Occasionally you can catch a baseball player roaming its halls. Don't forget the Induction Weekend, where baseball players are added to the Hall of Fame.
2. Fenimore Art Museum: Fenimore Art Museum is a museum of American art.
It is named for the property on which it stands, land once owned by the novelist James Fenimore Cooper. The Museum occupies a 1933 mansion built by Edward Severin Clark, an heir to the Singer Manufacturing Company fortune. Following his death the building was given to the Museum by his brother, philanthropist and art collector Stephen Carlton Clark, who also gave much of the fine art and folk art collections. The museum holds an amazing collection of temporary and permeant exhibits. (from the about section of Fenimore Art Museum)
3. Farmers Museum: The site of The Farmers’ Museum has deep roots in New York State’s rural past. The land has been part of a working farm since 1813, when it was owned by James Fenimore Cooper. Judge Samuel Nelson, whose office is part of The Farmers’ Museum Village, bought the farm in 1829 and raised sheep. Fenimore Farm, as it came to be known, changed hands again in the 1870s, when it was acquired by the Clark family.
In 1918, Edward Severin Clark built a showcase complex at Fenimore Farm for his prize herd of cattle. The barn, creamery, and herdsman’s cottage designed by architect Frank Whiting in the Colonial Revival style and constructed of local stone still stand today and are an integral part of the museum. Today, they house museum offices, exhibition spaces, and public areas. The structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Farmers’ Museum opened its doors to the public in 1944. At that time, the museum had 5,000 tools and objects, including important collections amassed by the Otsego County Historical Society; William B. Sprague, founder of the Early American Industries Association; and the Wyckoff family, one of Brooklyn’s oldest farming families. Today the museum’s collections number more than 23,000 artifacts.

4. Hyde Hall: Famous for its neoclassical architecture and scenic view of Otsego Lake, Hyde Hall, a historic mansion in Cooperstown, NY, was built between 1817 and 1834 for George Clarke. Continuing a rich family legacy, Clarke (1768-1835) ventured from England to the United States, and began construction of Hyde Hall in 1817. Despite passing through five generations, the estate faced demolition until the Friends of Hyde Hall, formed in 1964, created a partnership with the State to preserve and interpret the mansion, outbuildings, and grounds. Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark, Hyde Hall now serves as a museum offering tours and events for public enjoyment and historical exploration. (From the about us Hyde Hall) Hyde Hall is also home to one of the few remaining covered bridges in New York.
5. The Iroquois Museum is an educational institution dedicated to fostering understanding of Iroquois culture using Iroquois art as a window to that culture. The Museum is a venue for promoting Iroquois art and artists, and a meeting place for all peoples to celebrate Iroquois culture and diversity. As an anthropological institution, it is informed by research on archaeology, history, and the common creative spirit of modern artists and craftspeople.
