About

Founded in 1939, the Greater Oneonta Historical Society (formerly the Upper Susquehanna Historical Society) strives to preserve the heritage of the Greater Oneonta area and to educate the population by offering programs which familiarize area citizens with local history. As an organization, we work to enhance the future by providing a tradition on which our contemporary culture can be based and out of which it can grow.
