The Farmers Museum
Open Air Museum · Cooperstown, New York
A working open-air museum of rural New York at Cooperstown — a reassembled 1840s village of relocated historic buildings, a working farmstead with heritage livestock, and ⚠ THE HOME OF THE CARDIFF GIANT, the ten-foot 'petrified man' unearthed in 1869 that became one of the most successful hoaxes in American history. ⚠ IT IS ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE FENIMORE ART MUSEUM.
5775 State Highway 80, Cooperstown, New York, 13326, United States
⚠ SEASONAL — and ⚠ ITS SCHEDULE DIFFERS FROM THE FENIMORE ART MUSEUM'S ACROSS THE ROAD despite the two sharing a car park and a parent organisation. CHECK BOTH; arriving to find one open and one shut is the standard Cooperstown frustration. ⚠ ASK FOR THE COMBINED TICKET WITH FENIMORE — cheaper than two admissions and not always offered unprompted. Free shared parking. ⚠ IT IS A WORKING OPEN-AIR FARM with grass, gravel and packed-earth routes throughout and historic buildings with steps at the door — see the accessibility notes. ⚠ AVOID PEAK JULY AND AUGUST unless baseball is also the point. ⚠ HOURS AND PRICES NOT VERIFIED.
