There's no easy way to get to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Nestled more than four hours away from New York City and Boston -- and more than 20 miles off of Interstate 88 in the rolling hills of central New York -- it's a 16-hour drive from St. Louis.

"No one stops by Cooperstown on their way someplace else," said National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Senior Curator Tom Shieber. "It's pretty far out of the way and there is no easy way to get there. So we're bringing the exhibits to the fans."

More than 60 artifacts from the Hall of Fame's museum, including both items of local interest and ones with national appeal will be on display at the Major League Baseball FanFest. While All-Star Game tickets are hard to find and expensive, FanFest tickets are still available at MLB.com for $30 for adults and $25 for kids.
