 | | Everyone thinks that tiny Cooperstown (just 2,100 residents), located about 60 miles west of Albany, New York, between the Catskill and Adirondack mountain ranges, is all baseball, all the time. |
 | | Cooperstown has become so popular as a fall getaway destination for families that the Otesaga, which closes in the winter, now offers a Thanksgiving family weekend complete with holiday-cookie decorating, old-fashioned hayrides, movie nights, and the chance to join the Thanksgiving celebration at the historic Farmers' Museum, which is just a short walk away. |
 | | The museum's new Empire State Carousel was created by 1,000 volunteer carvers, painters, and woodworkers, and it features 23 hand-carved animals, including Merry the Dog, Percy Pig, and Sal the Mule. |
