Farmers' Museum Announces New Name Effective Nov. 1

COOPERSTOWN—After more than 80 years, one of the nation’s first open-air living history museums has unveiled a new name and new visual identity. The Farmers’ Museum will change its name to Fenimore Farm & Country Village beginning November 1, 2024. The new name was selected to accurately reflect the property’s long history and to better express the museum’s current focus. Fenimore Farm & Country Village will continue to serve as a center for education, a guardian of artifacts from our rural past, and a community hub.
