OK, to be fair, Cooperstown is located right between a county that I have lots of genealogy history in and one that Pat does....it's just SO lucky for Pat that the Baseball Hall of Fame happens to be right here also! "The 5th" is currently parked in a rural campground located on what can only bring the movie On Golden Pond to mind.
This area is very rural with either forested hills or hills with small farms (mostly dairy or corn).
The towns are extremely tiny. In three large counties, we have seen only two real towns (and only one Walmart and one Lowe's; no other big stores anywhere). Pat got his baseball fix and then we spent the time wandering around the area, checking out cemeteries, doing research in historical societies and courthouses, and just catching up with life in "the 5th". Tomorrow we head south to Pennsylvania. We are looking forward to spending the week with Connie and Addison in New York City, Gettysburg, and Amish country.
