Cooper Circle

Cooper Circle

Cooperstown, New York has an important literary history starting with James Fenimore Cooper, through his daughter, Susan Fenimore Cooper, to Louis C. Jones and modern writers like Lauren Groff, Kevin Guilfoile, Callie Wright, and others.

Cooperstown Central School strives to educate beyond the walls of our classrooms. As a result, we are creating the James Fenimore Cooper Circle to recognize those in our community who have published and continue to share their love of literature.
