Known to many as the Edgewater, the mansion is often regarded as Cooperstown's most important historic home. It dates all the way back to the early 1810's, where it was built by Issac Cooper. That's the brother to James Fenimore Cooper, famous author known for writing 'The Last of the Mohicans'.

The house was remodeled in the late 19th century, but most recently was returned to its "Federal style" in the 1920's. It's played host to a number of famous artists, writers, sports writers and even Presidents from the homes first creation until today.
