Wikipedia: Cooperstown, New York
Cooperstown is a village in Otsego County, New York, United States. It is the county seat. Most of the village lies within the town of Otsego, but some of the eastern part is in the town of Middlefield.
 
Cooperstown is best known as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The Farmers’ Museum, the Fenimore Art Museum, Glimmerglass Opera, and the New York State Historical Association are also based there. Most of the historic pre-1900 core of the village is included in the Cooperstown Historic District, which was designated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and had its boundaries increased in 1997.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is an American history museum and hall of fame, located at 25 Main Street in Cooperstown, New York, and operated by private interests. It serves as the central point for the study of the history of baseball in the United States and beyond, displays baseball-related artifacts and exhibits, and honors those who have excelled in playing, managing, and serving the sport. The Hall’s motto is “Preserving History, Honoring Excellence, Connecting Generations.”
 
The word Cooperstown is often used as shorthand (or a metonym) for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Birthplace of Baseball or Village of Museums? The Packaging of Heritage Tourism in Cooperstown, New York

Summary:
This paper examines the forces that influence the development of heritage tourism in Cooperstown, New York and provides evidence of landscape change resulting from tourism growth. One family has exerted a great deal of influence in determining what facets of heritage are packaged as nostalgic. But the struggle to maintain this, or any, particular heritage is met with resistance as free-market forces circumvent communities’ desires to preserve a specific aspect of history. Although Cooperstown is unique as the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame it has many characteristics common to other small rural villages struggling to maintain their cultural heritage. Central to this struggle is how places are packaged and who gets to decide what is authentic. The substantial increase in the Baseball Hall of Fame attendance in the last 20 years has brought about social and economic changes that now challenge the way in which Cooperstown is packaged. Although the village has avoided commercial development of shopping malls and fast-food restaurants, other consequences such as traffic congestion, crowding and the transition away from a local-retail based business district have been unavoidable.
