Museum Tour
Enjoy a private guided tour of the Museum.
Looking to elevate your Museum visit?
The trip to Cooperstown is one that you may have waited years to make. Now that you’ve arrived, allow us to take it from here with a private Museum Tour.
The Museum Tour will provide you with a deeper glimpse at the stories beyond the exhibits and the select artifacts.
Each item on display – the bats, baseballs, gloves, spikes and uniforms – tells an important story about the game’s history. But the collection is also broad and deep, documenting both the game on the field and its impact on American culture. It may be art, books, baseball cards or photographs that bring your memories of the game to life. All of these, and so much more, are preserved for all of us to enjoy.
We’ve selected some of those with the most fascinating, memorable, or significant stories to share with you and to enhance your visit on this private 90-minute Museum Tour.
You will even get insight on how the collection is care for, how exhibits are curated and the story of "why" Cooperstown!
Book your experience today as availability is limited.
