FACILITY LOCATION
Best known as the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown possesses a quaint charm that is hard to come by these days. Beer fans will want to check out Brewery Ommegang, a world-class Belgian-style brewery just south of the city, while wine drinkers can visit several vineyards to quench their thirst. Though the Baseball Hall of Fame is perhaps the biggest cultural draw, one would be remiss not to visit Cooperstown's other museums, such as the Fenimore Art Museum, one of the nation's preeminent art institutions.
