Perhaps best known as the place where baseball started, Cooperstown is home to the Baseball Hall of Fame. But the town has much more than just baseball. We visited the Farmers' Museum, the Fenimore Art Museum and Hyde Hall.
The town is at the southern end of Lake Otsego, a body of water nine miles long and over 160 feet deep. The lake is the start of the Susquehanna River, a river that wanders 444 miles to the Chesapeake Bay. The Susquehanna watershed drains 27,510 square miles and supplies more than 50% of the fresh water entering Chesapeake bay.
