History of Baseball and Ancient Caverns that Will Amaze You
There is only one traffic light and Main Street is only 5 blocks long. Over the years, other influences have shaped the region and its appeal to history seekers, including the farming economy and baseball. Today, all these influences are celebrated in our history museums: the Farmer’s Museum, and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Visit Howe Caverns, New York State’s second most-visited natural attraction (Niagara Falls is #1).
Discovered in 1842 by Schoharie County farmer, Lester Howe, for whom it is named; Howe Caverns is a living, limestone cave, carved by an underground river over the course of six million years, located 156 feet below the earth’s surface. Don’t forget Farmers’ Museum! Explore our rural heritage. Turn back the pages of time to 1845 when you visit the historic and working farm. Meet the craftspeople who continue the traditions of the 19th century, learn about the life on the farm firsthand and experience day-to-day routines of rural Americans.
