Montgomery County
The strategic location of Montgomery County-the "Gateway to the West"-and its valuable river, turnpike, canal, and railroad transportation routes make our history rich and complex.
Midpoint between today's celebrated Cooperstown and Saratoga attractions, Montgomery County has long been the center of some of the most important events in our nation's history: abundant natural resources sustained the Mohawk tribal people, whose villages once dotted the river corridor. The Dutch, and then German, British, and other settlers arrived in the early 1700s. It was at the center of intense fighting during the American Revolution, and postwar soldiers and pioneers traveled by river bateaux, then turnpike, and then via the Erie Canal to settle its fertile banks and supply the migration into the West.
Otsego County
You'll not only find four seasons of spectacular natural beauty in Otsego County, you'll find four seasons of outstanding cultural opportunities.
In summer, take advantage of the Glimmerglass Opera's nationally famous productions, sung in English at the new Alice Busch Opera Theater. The Cooperstown Theater Festival and the Oneonta State University dinner theater series are also very popular. Other summer choices include the New York State Music Camp's evening concerts at Hartwick College and the Catskill Conservatory as it charms its audiences with intimate chamber music in barns and churches throughout the county.
Schoharie County
A visit to Upstate New York's Schoharie County is a trip to quaint towns and villages, filled with reminders of simpler times.
Farmers work their land. Brooks babble. Eagles fly. Fish jump in the streams. Unique attractions – grand caves, acres of flowers, working mills and more – all are part of Schoharie County's magic. Stroll Main Street in Historic Sharon Springs. Experience the village green in Jefferson. See covered bridges or bask in the beauty of the nature trails.
