Sammlung: On the Shores of Lake Otsego

Fenimore Art Museum

April 1 – December 31, 2023

Otsego Lake takes its name from the Haudenosaunee people, whose presence in the area has been known, dating back to before the 17^th century. Long enjoyed by residents and visitors to Cooperstown, the lake has been referred to by James Fenimore Cooper as a "glimmering glass," or "Glimmerglass." Authors and artists have long found inspiration on her shores and the works featured this season in the Cooper room pay homage to Lake Otsego.
