At first glance, you'll fall in love with this picturesque little city on Great Lake Ontario. The sunsets on the water alone can make you swoon. But in this scenic setting, you will find there's a lot more to explore beyond taking in the view.
The
Oswego Speedway can satisfy your need for speed, and a house full of history at the
Richardson-Bates House Museum will show you how life proceeded in the Victorian period.
Military history aficionados can take part in the statewide commemoration of the French & Indian War that will continue through 2010 at
Fort Ontario State Historic Site. Or you might prefer the sandy
beaches and vast open spaces for boating on the lake.
If you like
fishing or maybe just want to try it, fish are plentiful here. Anglers from around the world come to this area, called the Fishing Capital of the Northeast, to catch trophy salmon, walleye and bass. In July, you can join the 300,000 visitors who arrive annually to celebrate Oswego’s
Harborfest, with music, fireworks and lots of summer activities.
