We're going to Copperstown, New York in July. (baseball)
I would like to visit Amish country, can someone tell me where I could go that would be a day trip from Copperstown? Also about how far is Niagar falls from Copperstown?
Also, is there anywhere else that is recommended for a day trip? We are staying in copperstown all week.
Thanks
Welcome to the Great American RoadTrip Forum! Niagara Falls is about 250 miles from Cooperstown and about five hours each way. Here are some posts about this area:Quote:

Other day trip options could include:
Steamtown National Historic Site (Scranton, PA) (2.5 hours) There is also a coal mining tour that I think would be pretty cool -- Lackawanna
The Corning area has the Corning Museum of Glass about 2.5 hours the other direction -- you would also pass through Elmira, which has been the de-facto center of gliding for several years.
If you go down to the Lancaster area, you could swing by Hershey, PA.
Anway, I hope this gets you started.

If you're making the pilgrimage to Cooperstown, don't miss out on the chance to see some Baseball the way it was meant to be seen: up-close, personal, and for less than $100!. You will (depending on schedules) be able to see everything from 'almost-major-league' caliber play at AAA level Syracuse, Scranton-Wilkes Barre, Rochester, and Buffalo; through the AA Eastern League which includes a franchise in Binghamton, NY; to the Class A Short-Season teams of the New York - Penn League.
