I'm thinking of doing a road trip to Cooperstown this fall. To make it a little more palatable 📂 Archived Message Posted by Philo on July 9, 2026, 8:32:12 for my wife, I'm including a stop at the R&R Hall of Fame. We'd both enjoy that. I've never been to either, or to Niagara Falls. Would 1-1/2 to 2 days at Niagara Falls be a reasonable amount of time to spend there if we added that to the trip?
