SUMMARY:OCHS Annual Meeting and McCrobie Building Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The Oswego County Board of Trustees would like to cordially invite you to our 2024 Annual Meeting. This year\, we will be voting to approve a new set of Board Bylaws. These new bylaws will make our organization compliant with the Not-For-Profit laws of New York State.

Below\, you will find a brief introduction to the individuals recommended for the board\, as well as the final draft of our to-be-approved bylaws.Following the meeting\, Michael Pittavino will be presenting on Recreational Maritime History in Oswego. Boating\, sailing\, and paddling are popular\, time-honored pastimes that have offered relaxation\, adventure\, and a connection to nature for generations in Oswego\, NY.  Through material culture\, images\, and context\, Pittavino’s talk takes a closer look at the history of marine-based recreation in Oswego.  From the founding of the Oswego Yacht Club in 1881 through the rise of the local charter fishing industry in the 1970s\, trends will be examined to provide a big picture look at how a community has interacted with its waterfront for over 150 years.  “I’m excited to engage with the community and share my passion for both history and boating”\, Pittavino said\, “and I hope to encourage those in attendance to head out and explore Oswego’s endless recreational opportunities”.    \n\n\n\nAs curator of the H.

SUMMARY:Riverside Cemetery Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Oswego County Historical Society (OCHS)\, along with the Friends of Riverside Cemetery\, will host a guided cemetery tour of the historic Riverside Cemetery on Sunday\, June 16 at 11:00 a.m. Tickets for the event are $10. Pre-registration is required due to limited space within tour buses. The cemetery tour will begin at the Page Memorial Chapel located at the main entrance of the cemetery. \n\n\n\nThe Riverside Cemetery was incorporated in 1855 and is situated just outside the Oswego city line. It was designed as a rural cemetery by landscape architect Burton Arnold Thomas. In the mid-19th century rural cemeteries became a popular choice for a final resting place in a park-like setting on the outskirts of town. This was opposite the earlier condensed cemeteries which outgrew space in growing neighborhoods. Also referred to as a garden style\, the rural cemeteries were seen as places to visit and enjoy the landscape along with the artistry of the monuments.
