The Baseball Hall of Fame is in Cooperstown, NY, which is in upstate NY in the middle of nowhere. It's there because of a fake baseball origin story created to attract tourists. A few other halls of fame popped up in the same area to exploit the hall of fame branding, all of which have moved or failed, including the Soccer HOF, the Corvette HOF, and Hamburger HOF (which I think was just a mediocre burger joint).
