Middlefield is located in the heart of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Region. Located along the east side of the Susquehanna River, the landscape of rolling hills is framed by Cherry Valley Creek and Red Creek. One of the top attractions is the Old Middlefield Schoolhouse Museum. This unique museum offers a glimpse into the region's history with special heritage exhibits and demonstrations. The museum also serves as a community center, hosting festivals annually.

The Middlefield Orchard is the area's only u-pick orchard with apples, raspberries, pears, strawberries, blueberries, sweet corn, as well as homemade jams and preserves. Enjoy Cherry Valley Camping opportunities in the beautiful area of Otsego County.
