My family has a summer home near Cooperstown and I am there almost every other weekend.from May through September. Hotel reservations are a must during the summer when there are lots of people in town for baseball tournaments in addition to the regular attractions. In addition to the HOF, I would recommend that you check out the Ommegang Brewery tour. There is also an art museum, farmers museum, Sam Smith's Boatyard where you can eat lunch or dinner within a few feet of the lake or rent a boat. Fishing is very good and the lake is rarely crowded. There is also an opera house on the lake if you enjoy that kind of thing. Favorite restaurants are Mel's at 22 on the corner of Main and Chestnut, Nicollettas on Main Street for Italian food. New York Pizzeria on Chestnut has the best pizza in the area. Check the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce website or cooperstownstay.com
