You're hitting Cooperstown at the very right time--the leaves, the lake and the quietness of the town in Autumn make for a perfect time to go.
FYI, you can get into the HOF for free if you make an appointment to do some research at the National Baseball Library (part of the HOF). This is a good idea if travelling solo; not so good if you're taking the family. Do yourself a favor and come up with a list of players who you might want to find out more about. There is so much material simply languishing in that library, waiting to be discovered by the right person. So much information that is being ignored.
Also, if you're into vintage wire photos, you should make up another list of players whose photos you'd like to examine. Their collection is beyond belief. I was given access to the actual photos back when I was there; I don't know if they are so casual anymore.
