"The Farmer's Museum" Cooperstown Things to Do Tip by Loonbeam

The Farmer's museum features 3 distinct areas. An exhibit detailing the history of the Lake Ostego region, a recreated hand-carved carousel and band orgran and an interpretive farm village featuring 1800's living methods.

All are exceedingly well done and worth a visit. Younger children will especially enjoy the Carousel (only $.25 per ride!) and the chance to get up close with some animals. Older ones may enjoy the blacksmithing and broom making demos among others.

Allow 1-2 hours. Combination tickets with Baseball HOF and Fenimore available.

Address: Across from Fenimore Museum on Mill Rd
Directions: From the one traffic light, make right if coming from hall of fame. Left at end of road, about 1/2 mile down on left. Park across the street for easy access to Farmer's and the Fenimore.
