It’s an abbreviated local trip down memory lane, dominated by Syracuse China, Harriet Tubman’s role in the Underground Railroad and some Iroquois lore.  The Onondaga Historical Association is located at 321 Montgomery Street, Syracuse, New York 13202 – it is (at) the heart of downtown Syracuse.

They are currently undergoing a massive renovation so the upstairs floors are off limits.  Someday I will get to play on the Magic Toy Shop set.  And someday, I will have an art show here.  One of these days I will explore the history of my home if there is any info to be found in their archives.  And eventually, I will purchase an autographed copy of Dennis Connors’ book.

The gift shop is the current highlight of the museum.  You can peruse books about the city as well as books by local authors.  All things L. Frank Baum seems to be a favorite topic.  There are T-shirts, posters, postcards and lots of small touristy gifts.
