Cooperstown
We loved it there. I enjoyed the museum and I'm not a big baseball fan. My daughter thought we should buyy one of the stores in town that was for sale..... She was sure we could find something g to sell all the tourists. The building had living quarters above.....could have been fun. cool little town.
