Around Oswegatchie provides a vivid look at the lifestyle of an area of far northern New York State during the time that it depended primarily on an agrarian existence. In its early days, the town of Oswegatchie was subdivided numerous times into new townships. From Oswegatchie, Lisbon, Morristown, and DePeyster came artists, politicians, industrialists, inventors, and Civil War heroes, people who left their footprints on a nation and helped make a better life for all.
