    1. Re: Poorhouse Records ALERT!
    2. Hi This appears to be where the majority of historical records, documents and etc of Oswego County are located and I would say it would be a good location to consider when donated the book. It is also open to the public so they would be able to view it. Richardson-Bates House Museum The Oswego County Historical Society's collection of nearly 13,000 artifacts, documents and photographs traces the significant history of the area, and is located in the Richardson-Bates House at 135 East Third Street in Oswego. The house was built sometime between 1867 and 1871 and is a fine example of Tuscan Villa Victorian architecture. The entire upstairs of the house is dedicated to the preservation of local history. The downstairs is preserved as the Richardson family knew it, with 95 percent of the original furnishings of the period. Maxwell Richardson was an attorney, real estate broker, and two-term mayor of Oswego. His house reflects his wealth and position as a civic leader. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on weekends from 1 to 5 p.m. It is closed Mondays and holidays. (315) 343-1342. Admission charged. Regards Pat R
