I turned 50 last month, and it feels like just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my life! I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to New York to visit my best friend. While there, we took a delightful trip to Cooperstown, NY, to spend quality time with my wonderful aunt.
We decided to explore something different instead of the Baseball Hall of Fame, even though Cooperstown is famous for it! Instead, we had a fantastic time at the Fenimore Farm and Village and the Art Museum. Those places truly align with my interests and brought me so much joy in doing and seeing!
James Fenimore Cooper was an important American author in early literature. Born in 1789, his adventure stories focus on nature and humans. His famous book, The Last of the Mohicans, published in 1826, tells of survival during the French and Indian War. He grew up on a farm by Otsego Lake. The town of Cooperstown is named after him. This reflects his influence on frontier life, Native American culture, and American identity.
Enjoy some of the photos I took at the farm.
