The Otesaga Hotel and Cooper Inn was constructed at the dawn of the 20th century, in which the United States had started to emerge as a global superpower.

Open since 1909, the Otesaga is an imposing structure with an impressive front portico supported by massive 30-foot columns. It occupies 700 feet of lakefront on the southern shore of Lake Otsego, the famed "Glimmerglass" of James Fenimore Cooper’s novels. The hotel is in its 107th year of operation.

The Cooper Inn is a classic federal brick landmark located on its stately park-like setting at the corner of Main and Chestnut Streets in the Village of Cooperstown. It is convenient to all attractions and businesses in the Cooperstown area.
