During his restoration of a ca. 1820 New York farmhouse (see previous story), antiques dealer Tim Northup sought inspiration at museums and historic houses—including the Farmers’ Museum and Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, not far from his place in Oneonta. Today the town with a population of about 1,770—home to the Baseball Hall of Fame—also boasts SUNY Oneonta’s Cooperstown Graduate Program, which trains museum professionals.
