Cooperstown, New York 13326 Get Directions
Inspired by the Empire State Carousel at The Farmers' Museum,' Wild Times! A New York State Animal Road Trip' showcases some of the animals on the Carousel, and explores their natural history, mythology, social history, art history and use in pop culture. The exhibition follows the geography of New York State, from Long Island to Western New York. The Long Island section includes the bay scallop and Peking duck, which formed the basis of important downstate industries. The Downstate area addresses how grey squirrels and raccoons have adapted to thrive in a people-created environment. The Catskills' brook trout and black bears represent the balance of nature and tourism. The Leatherstocking Region features horses and their use in farming and racing, as well as Holstein cows and the thriving agricultural industries of the region. The Adirondacks highlight the Beaver and Loon and address nature-tourism. Finally, Western New York considers the mule, which is the representative animal of the New York canal system.
