Things To Do
National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
Nearly 300,000 people a year make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown to pay homage to the heroes of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, but in the process, many also discover an unspoiled repository of America's heritage, rich in history, art, architecture and natural beauty. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a "must see" in Cooperstown and one of Shaun and Maura's favorite places. The Hall of Fame is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. All wedding guests will receive complementary admission through Sunday, September 18, 2022.
Fenimore Art Museum (American Art)
The art collection at the Fenimore Art Museum inspires and educates each visitor on the rich history of American Art and how it has shaped American culture. The beauty of this collection is enhanced by the backdrop of breathtaking views of Otsego Lake.

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard
Fly Creek Cider Mill is an historic, water-powered cider mill on the banks of Fly Creek that has been pressing fresh, sweet cider for over 160 years...and is just minutes from Cooperstown. Enjoy cider mill tours and tastings, shop at their Mill Store Marketplace for home-style foods, or meet the ducks and chickens that inhabit the mill pond. Shaun and Maura especially enjoy the rubber ducky races! The mill is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Leatherstocking Golf Course
Designed by Devereux Emmet in 1909, the championship 18-hole, par-72, 6,324-yard course is open to the public as well as guests of The Otesaga and The Cooper Inn. The course was named one of the 10 best public courses in New York State by GolfWeek, and was ranked second overall in the New York region by Zagat Survey. Shaun's parents, Candy and Dennis, enjoyed playing golf on the course on a recent summer visit to Cooperstown and look forward to playing on the course as the leaves begin to change in September. The golf course has tee times daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
