Cooperstown, NY, Baseball Hall of Fame

Our  highlight yesterday was to visit the Cooperstown, NY Baseball Hall of fame.  The game of baseball was actually based on the English game of rounders.  In 1845 Alexander Cartwright published a set of baseball rules for the knickerbocker club of New York, and his rules were widely adopted.   We saw exhibits, artifacts, awards and the library.   Last night, Wednesday, we stayed in a camp ground in Central Bridge, NY near Albany.  So far we have had beautiful weather but it is rainy today.  On to Vermont.
