The Otesaga Hotel or Otesage Resort Hotel is a historic hotel located in the Village of Cooperstown, New York on Lake Street (NY-80). It was built in 1909 in the Federal style. The hotel is a contributing building to the Cooperstown Historic District on the Southern shore of Lake Otsego in Cooperstown, New York. It has been selected by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a member of the Historic Hotels of America. The hotel opens each year in mid April and closes after Thanksgiving. It has 135 rooms and occupies 700 feet of Otsego Lake shore. The Otesaga also has two restaurants and features an 18-hole golf course that was also established in 1909. The hotel was designed by architect Percy Griffin, and built by Stephen Carlton Clark and his brother Edward Severin Clark. The hotel's architectural style has been described as both Federal and Neo-Georgian. The front of the building has a portico supported by eight 30-foot wooden columns. The kitchen was originally furnished in 1909 by Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse. The hotel has a reputation for being haunted, and was featured in an episode of the television show, "Ghost Hunters" which originally aired on August 25, 2010.

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a history museum and hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York, operated by private interests. It serves as the central point of the history of baseball in the United States and displays baseball-related artifacts and exhibits, honoring those who have excelled in playing, managing, and serving the sport. The Hall's motto is "Preserving History, Honoring Excellence, Connecting Generations". Cooperstown is often used as shorthand (or a metonym) for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The Hall of Fame was established in 1939 by Stephen Carlton Clark, an heir to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune. Clark sought to bring tourists to the village hurt by the Great Depression, which reduced the local tourist trade, and Prohibition, which devastated the local hops industry. Clark constructed the Hall of Fame's building, which was dedicated on June 12, 1939. (His granddaughter, Jane Forbes Clark, is the current chairman of the board of directors.) The erroneous claim that Civil War hero Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown was instrumental in the early marketing of the Hall. An expanded library and research facility opened in 1994. Dale Petroskey became the organization's president in 1999. In 2002, the Hall launched Baseball as America, a traveling exhibit that toured ten American museums over six years. The Hall of Fame has since also sponsored educational programming on the Internet to bring the Hall of Fame to schoolchildren who might not visit. The Hall and Museum completed a series of renovations in spring 2005. The Hall of Fame also presents an annual exhibit at FanFest at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
