We came here recently for their "Touch a Train" day and it was a lot of fun…read more Admittedly, any day riding trains is fun but they had a lot going on: FREE train rides on their 12" gauge park train; FREE tour of their station with many model train exhibits; FREE tours inside of a diesel engine including cab with opportunity to ring the bell and activate the brakes; FREE live music; inexpensive food including popcorn (yum); FREE gift bag for the kids with stickers, wooden train whistle, and other things like that; FREE demonstration of a working railroad work crane; $5 caboose train rides up and down part of the line; run the Lionel train layout in the station for a quarter for a couple of laps. They do this once a year, so don't show up anytime and expect to get all of the above. But they are a great little railroad and museum trying to keep up the history of trains in the area. The staff were super friendly too.

I had the BEST Independence Day EVER! Went to the July 4th celebration at the Farmers' Museum in…read moreCooperstown. There was a reading of the Declaration of Independence on the village green, complete with 13 lemonade toasts and accompanying "Huzzah!!"s. I learned about broom making, printing, natural remedies and pill making, among many other things. Just roaming through the historic village and farm was fascinating!! All the animals were so relaxed and super well cared for. The thing that totally blew me away though, was the Empire State Carousel! All the animals on it are hand carved, and are all animals found in NY. The whole thing was simply gorgeous! There was a young woman that went around before the carousel started and told you the name of "your" animal, it's history and special facts about it. Loved the whole day!! ** right after my visit, I bought a membership because I plan on going back often!

Been wanting to come here for awhile as my mom kept sending me it on fb lol. Knew we'd be up at my…read moremom's this summer so we of course planned a little trip to Cooperstown. We got here an hour before closing which probably isn't enough time but my son is 3 so it was perfect for him. The carousel which I thought was super cute my son ran for dear life from. It's a carousel! lol. Seriously the way he ran you'd think we were trying to lure him to the carousel of death. So sadly no ride on that but everything else was really cool to check out. Random chickens around my son was happy seeing it all. Gift shop was closed as we left but we came back the next day to check that out :) I definitely plan on coming back here as my boy gets older where he can actually pay attention to things.

We spent part of the time sitting in the land office, so we were not standing the entire time. You'll need a map to find Peterboro, but it is worth looking at a map, finding it, and visiting.

We used Leatherstocking Trolley for transportation for our May 16th wedding at Longview Farm in…read moreEdmeston, NY, and we're so glad we did. They transported our guests from a hotel in Cooperstown and were even kind enough to arrange additional pickup and drop-off service for guests staying at a nearby Airbnb, which we really appreciated. We also wanted to be part of the fun, so we had the trolley pick us up at the venue the night before and bring us to and from our rehearsal dinner. It ended up being such a fun and memorable part of the weekend. Our guests absolutely loved the trolley ride -- on the way back to the hotel, everyone was singing along to music after the driver let them connect to the speaker system. It really added to the celebration and made the night even more memorable for everyone. Matt was very accommodating and made sure we were taken care of once everything was finalized. On the wedding weekend itself, transportation ran smoothly and allowed our guests to fully enjoy the evening without worrying about driving. We're very thankful our guests were able to celebrate safely and have such a fun experience together. Danielle & Taylor

They came a very long way to service our party, and I'm so tremendously grateful. Our driver, Rob, was a mensch. He arrived early to get a lay of the land and figure out how he planned to navigate the roads in and out of our (very rural) venue. He picked up everyone on time and nobody showed up to our ceremony late! Then he hung out till we were ready to send people home, and was extremely kind to wait until we were sure we had collected all of our guests and left no one behind! It was such a fun option to bring our guests to and from the venue, and we are so beyond pleased that we went with Leatherstocking Trolly Company!

Not well marked and I guess you can just drive onto the trail if your equipped with AWD. The trail is really cool and looks like it's been driven over a lot. However we saw no cars or tractors. Also barely any people. We did 3 miles of the trail before heading back. I looked it up after and it looks like it goes on forever. The terrain is ever changing. Parts have running water on both sides which is really cool. Also the trees perfectly frame the trail. There are even parts through farmland where there is a row of trees on either side but it's in the middle of an open field. Also at one point an off leash dog came onto the trail. It scared us but seemed friendly. I think it came from a neighboring property. Just so you know I wouldn't consider this hiking. It's easy and flat except where it's muddy.
