Pioneer frontier life in New York returned to life inside The Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown. Old ways and tools were on display in 1953; they remain on exhibit in 2011.

The village in Otsego County, a short drive from the Capital Region, is home to both the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and The Farmers’ Museum. Once people see enough baseball bats, gloves, rakes and plows, they can also examine American folk and American Indian art inside the Fenimore Art Museum.
