The spectacular setting has not changed, but decades later, Cooperstown is a diverse, connected and engaged community. This small village of 2,100 yearround residents is home to internationally-acclaimed attractions that afford an unsurpassed variety and quality of cultural experiences. Coupled with a premier healthcare facility and well-respected educational institutions, the Cooperstownarea is truly a great place to live and work.
It’s an intimate place where individuals can make a difference, from participating in government to the school board – and more. The community is an eclectic, friendly blend of young families and retirees, healthcare and museum professionals, educators and generations of long-time residents.
