Mist drapes the valley,
sunrise stitches gold through gray,
Glimmerglass Lake breathes awake.

🎶 Curtain up, Cooperstown!

The The New York Times just shared out what we already knew: this small town’s got an embarrassment of riches. Baseball and opera? Main Street bobbleheads by day, Sondheim by night? Yes, please.

The Glimmerglass Festival fans: the secret’s out, as you know the hotel rooms go fast. Like...dream-team fast. So book your 2026 season rooms now.

🎟️ Plan ahead, come early, stay a while.
🛏️ Maybe book that room right now.

Paris in Cooperstown? Oui. 🇫🇷✨

This stunning moment is of the Notre Dame Truss reconstructed on Fenimore Art Museum’s back lawn: a striking piece of French history and engineering, and a symbol of resilience after the cathedral’s 2019 fire.

Pair it with their 'From Paris to the World' exhibition and you’ve got world-class art + lake views, no passport required.

The crack of the bat. The roar of the crowd. The ballfield lights flickering on as the summer sunset paints the sky pink.

We get to be the place where young ballplayers chasing big-league dreams. Maybe even a ticket to the World Series, or one day, a place among these legends in Cooperstown.

Because no matter how bright the spotlight, it all starts right here, under the lights. 🌅⚾️

🚜💙 Ingalls Blueberry Hill: Where the berries are sweet, the views are sweeping, and the only thing better than picking is sneaking a taste of your haul (just one: we see you, little berry bandits 👀)

This third-gen (and counting!) you-pick blueberry farm just 5 miles south of Main Street Cooperstown near the Dreams Park, and it has been our go-to summer spot for locals and visitors since the '70s. Certified organic, family-run, and bee-loved (over 800,000 pollinators can’t be wrong).

Hot Tips:
-No grazing unless you’re an actual cow. 🐄
-Bring your own bottle - hydration is key: fill up at the shack. 💧
-Don’t wait, blueberry season doesn’t last forever! ⏳

Know your farmer. Know your fruit. Know that nothing beats a bucket of blueberries on a hill with a view.

🇯🇵✨ Cooperstown, now with extra omotenashi (hospitality.)

As we prepare to induct Ichiro Suzuki — the first Japanese-born player into the Hall of Fame — we’re rolling out the red carpet for fans from near, far, and very far.

The Hall’s newest exhibit, “Yakyu | Baseball,” is a bilingual baseball love letter. And the whole village is getting in on it:

📖 Pamphlets in Japanese & English
📱 QR codes in shop windows linking to Japanese guides
🛍️ Local shops (like Mickey's Place) ready to say いらっしゃいませ (Welcome!)

Because whether you're here for the history, the hot dogs, or Ichiro’s sweet swing, everyone deserves a perfect Cooperstown experience.

📍Come see what hospitality with a global glove hand looks like!com

As baseball’s shrine prepares to welcome its first Japanese-born inductee, Cooperstown is making an extra effort to welcome Ichiro Suzuki’s countrymen and fans to “America’s most perfect village.”
