Arts & Culture
The Fulton County Museum is surprisingly good for a small institution. There are a few exhibits on Bleecker (where Bette's is located), especially the great train crash, but this is definitely the place to learn about the history of the Glove Cities (Gloversville and Johnstown) and their historic roots in tanning and glove making.
