We didn't have have time on our last visit to Cooperstown so made a point to on this visit and we're so glad we did! The exhibits were magnificent, particularly the photographs of Greenland and the paintings and sketches of the 3 generations of Wyeths.

I wish I could give it a ticking zero!!! My friend and I took our 3 kids to this museum who are all 4th- 6th grade. I was at this museum before and other security guards have never done this before. The moment we walked in the security guard was completely inappropriate. Her name was Mary O’Brien. The moment we walked into this museum, she followed us around , in every single room while everybody else that was there were left alone. When we finally approached her we asked her why was she going following us around, and she said it’s cause she was told by 3 other security guards that our kids were touching the art work. We asked the front desk , where these security guards are, she said she’s the only one here, they weren’t even in that building. The whole time we were there, I made sure kids don’t touch nothing as I was within a couple feet of them making sure . Instead of coming to me and telling me just make sure the kids don’t touch anything , as I would’ve expected any professional to. she continued to follow us around and ruined the kids entire experience . Very racist as we clearly didn’t look like we were from the small town of Cooperstown. My kids felt completely uncomfortable and I would never recommend this museum to anyone!!
