“We invite businesses to be a part of this effort in helping to preserve the history and heritage of Oswego County,†said Peg McKinstry, president of the OCHS Board of Trustees. “Our history is a vital part of who we are as a community, and as our government funding sources have diminished over the years, we have had to pursue new fundraising efforts and partners to keep our history alive.â€
