It's safe to say no state has as many Halls of Fame as New York. The most popular is the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown?any true baseball fan should visit at least once. There's also the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame (for thoroughbred horse racing) in Saratoga Springs, the National Distance Running Hall of Fame in Utica, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in Amsterdam, and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota. The National Soccer Hall of Fame was located in Oneonta (near Cooperstown and Canastota in Central New York), but it closed a few years ago.
But it's not just sports, either. The National Women's Hall of Fame is in Seneca Falls, and the National Toy Hall of Fame is housed at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. You'll also find the American Theatre Hall of Fame in Manhattan's Theater District, and the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame in Saratoga.
