Honor the game's greats -- just 1% of the 19,000 men who have played Major League Baseball are enshrined -- in the Hall's Plaque Gallery, where baseball fans speak in reverential tones of the icons represented.

• Take in the Fenimore Art Museum, located on property once owned by novelist James Fenimore Cooper and now home to one of the country’s largest permanent collections of American Indian art and American folk art.

• Step back into the 19th century with a walk through the Historic Village and Lippitt Farmstead at the nearby Farmers’ Museum. From interactive educational programs to historic agricultural tools and equipment, this is a one-of-a-kind experience to see what life was like on a farm in 1800s. The museum is also home to the Cardiff Giant, the 10-foot-long gypsum figure known as "America's Greatest Hoax," and the Empire State Carousel, featuring 25 hand-carved animals and panels of historic figures.
