Onondaga Historical Association (OHA) exists to inspire people’s understanding that the history we share as a community is the foundation for our future together. Our purpose is to educate and to encourage the exploration, appreciation, and utilization of the past in order to add value throughout our community and bring the great stories of Onondaga County’s history to a worldwide audience.

OHA is represented throughout the community in many ways. Our downtown Syracuse facility, at 321 Montgomery Street, includes OHA’s administrative offices, the Onondaga Historical Museum, the Richard and Carolyn Wright Research Center, and our flag-ship Gift Gallery museum store.
