We went to Cooperstown after Niagara Falls on our way to Washington, DC. As you might know, Cooperstown is the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. We enjoyed seeing original balls, bats and uniforms used by all of the sport's greatest players. Some of the boys favorites artifacts were the oldest baseball (1854), Babe Ruth's bat, Sandy Koufax's glove and uniform, and old and rare baseball cards. We also saw Lou Gehrig's Yankee locker, and a whole tribute to Hank Aaron - that was really special! They also had some more recent museum pieces--we loved Curt Schilling's bloody sock from Game 4 of the 2004 World Series - eew. We enjoyed walking around the cute downtown. We found it interesting that the town of Cooperstown basically shuts down for about 5 months once kids go back to school... And Upstate New York? Wow! This is some of the most beautiful countryside we have seen on our trip. Green fields, quaint farms and farm houses - we absolutely loved it!
