Stopped here after getting jerk chicken from Jamaica Cuse, a few blocks away. Friendly staff and pretty rad things to see there. When you visit the gift shop, be sure to pay $30 and become a member. You'll get their publications mailed to you and have a discount when you shop for friends and family at the holidays. They've got some pretty rad Salt City shirts and puzzles and toys and books for kiddos.

Historical artifacts on Onondaga County's past and lots of research material available. Great people who work there and are always glad to make it a fantastic experience.

The OHA has a ton of information about Syracuse and the Onondaga area. They have information on slavery, Syracuse china, and salt production just to name a few. There are two floors of exhibits and a small gift shop. There are no tickets to buy but they take donations with a suggestion of $3 a person. It is a place to visit to learn about the local history of Syracuse and the Onondaga area.

Questions & Answers

My 2 great grandfather,Walter Dowding had a tailoring shop in Hotel Syracuse, would there be any pictures of that? He made the police chief's uniforms at the time. I'm just curious as to what it looked like.

How is it that one of the 1 st burial sites in Syracuse is now a playground. I am appalled by the lack of respect for this historical place. Our 1sy mayor is buried in same place...

There is an organization that is attempting a restoration of the site. They have uncovered and replanted a number of the monuments. This is a dense area of the city with little open spaces. The participants of ad hoc games such as the soccer games favored by the most recent immigrants to the north side, I'm sure don't mean any disrespect. I bet a lot of people don't realize that the lower part of the cemetery contains graves including a large area of unmarked graves for people who died from past epidemics.
