National Baseball Hall of Fame Visit:

We visited the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York on November 26, 2004. For anyone interested in the national pastime, this is a very worthwhile trip. At the time of our visit, the HOF was undergoing construction and expansion, which should be completed in Spring 2005. A lesson learned (the hard way, of course): Allow more time to tour the rest of the Cooperstown area - there are many more things to do and see. Even a two day visit would be rushing things. Like the Hall itself, the staff was fantastic. Despite a large crowd (This was the day after Thanksgiving), they were very helpful and friendly.
