Each purchase supports these groups as they work to promote Oswego County’s significant role in commercial, industrial, farming, maritime and military history.
In addition, the shoppe will be celebrating 50 years of Hallmark ornaments. Visitors may stop in and see the unique Hallmark tree display courtesy of collector, Fred Regan. Visitors may also take a selfie with the large model of the Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse. Vintage model train exhibits are on display courtesy of Fred Regan and Bill Dexter of the Oswego Valley Railroad Association.

The historical agencies would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to the City of Oswego for providing the space used to house the Holiday History Shoppe.
