The Fenimore Art Museum, located in Cooperstown, New York, has a collection of over 4,000 pieces of art, with collections showcasing early American Indian art, fine and folk art, decorative arts, photography, and local young adult artists. Opened in 1899 as the New York State Historical Association, the NYSHA moved in the late 1930s to the home of the late James Fenimore Cooper’s farm in Cooperstown. The museum expanded in the 1990s to include generous donated collections of art, and formally became the Fenimore Art Museum in 2017. Its sister property, the Farmers’ Museum is located across the street (and definitely worthy of a visit- kids will LOVE the museum!) and visitors can purchase a combined ticket to both properties.
