International travelers delve into history, behold geological features and enjoy music in the Central-Leatherstocking area. The The Farmers Museum and National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown are two historical attractions. The Glimmerglass Opera, also at Cooperstown, is a tranquil venue for operatic performances featuring the familiar, unusual and avant garde. The Howe Caverns at Howes Cave beckon visitors to view 10-million-year-old rock formations and enjoy a boat ride on an underground lake. The area's canal era is encapsulated at the Canastota Canal Town Museum at Canastota , a mid-1800s structure containing exhibits and memorabilia. Those interested in Byzantine architecture will want to visit Jordanville, home of Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary. Golden cupolas (onion domes) and a bell tower grace the campus.

She is famed for replicating the area's patchwork-quilt landscape in her folk-art paintings. Tours are offered at the New York State Capitol and the Executive Mansion in Albany.
