We had such a good time three years ago, I still carry the souvenir keyring around. The museum exhibits a world famous collection of native American art and sacred objects. Really worth visiting!

Try their beers. They may convert you. Ommegang makes the best Beglian beers this side of Belgium. Siel: seriously, eradicate all preconceptions from your brain about beer. Ommegang's range is complex, including spicy, fruity, dry, sweet, nutty, philosophical, delicious beers. It's a short drive from Cooperstown. Here's their website: http://www.ommegang.com/ I once spent a most memorable day with their brewer who pulled out all the stops for me and a couple friends who trekked there to offer them our homebrews and taste their beers. It's in a bucolic country setting. It's so country that I actually watched a cat play "cat and mouse" with a mouse in front of the brewery. Ultimately, the cat finished the poor little guy off, but only after toying with it for what seemed like a very long and cruel time. It made me appreciate the beers, and my life, all the more.

There are a couple good coffee shops... Stagecoach Cafe on Pioneer Street and Danny's Market around the corner on Main Street. There's also a new place called The Bean south of town. There's a wine shop on Pioneer Street (nothing big). The most exquisite food is at the Otesaga Resort Hotel (too expensive for me... http://www.otesaga.com/Dining/index.shtml) but there are plenty of less expensive choices. Take a look at visitcooperstown.com and www.cooperstownchamber.org. Schneider's Bakery on Main Street has the BEST donuts and pastries! Kurt :) Hi Siel,
