Cooperstown and Seneca Falls

We've gone from Baseball to Women's Rights in about 36 hours, but there were a few overlaps in thought!

Wednesday was spent at Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Yes, the plaques about each of the Hall of Famers are cool, but the museum is spectacular!  The entire history of baseball, from the mid-1800s until today, is chronicled in the museum.  Hours can easily be spent getting lost in the love of the game.  Growing up living, eating, and breathing baseball with my brother made this a special place for me.  We also had a workshop where we were allowed to handle artifacts from baseball's history.  It was a dream!

Most valuable baseball card in the world: Honus Wagner.
Thursday took us to Seneca Falls where we looked at the beginnings of the Women's Rights Movement.  We toured the museum and visited Elizabeth Cady Stanton's home.  Seneca Falls is a beautiful little town.
