She arrived early with her two helpers to make sure she had time to set up before the guests arrived. She was very patient and knowledgable while trying to teach all of us how to paint our masterpieces. She and her staff were attentive to our needs and made it a fun experience for all. I found that any age from toddlers on up can participate and have fun painting. She even managed to console a 5 year old that was a little upset that her painting wasn't quite coming out like hers and gave her a clean canvas to paint a cat on which is one of her favorite animals and it was all good. We had a great day! Thanks to The Painting Cafe for making this such a fun time

The history and exhibits were neat too. Definitely a little dark and "divey" as one reviewer wrote, but a unique piece of local history nonetheless. There is also a free electric car charging station near the park office building, but no restroom in the museum.

Prices range from very fair to a little expensive, but overall the condition on everything was very good. Not a junk store but rather a curated variety by different vendors. I found many of the items to stick to specific eras/styles. A lot of Victorian, "cottage", Renaissance. A lot of stairs, and I didn't see an elevator. Some off street parking. Staff at the exit were friendly, but maybe a little sparse throughout the entirety of the store. This may be due to the vendor aspect.

Thanks to President FDR, 982 refugees found their way to America and away from the devastating effects of the Holocaust. To me, it seemed unbelievable that such history could be found in CNY so I had to check it out. One Saturday morning, I made the 20 mile drive to Oswego in order to visit this small local museum. I arrived 30 minutes after it opened and was the first person there. I chatted with a delightful volunteer, who gave me a rundown of the site and its history before allowing me to watch a 38 minutes video, which included refugee interviews. After the video, I strolled around the tiny gallery to read their stories and see photos. Afterward, I walked through the main area one last time and again chatted with the volunteer, who has been keeping an eye on the place since it opened in 2002. All and all, I would say that I spent two hours at the museum, but you could easily see it all in an hour or so. Admission is $5 for adults. It is obvious that this local landmark is proud of its heritage and has gained a lot of support from both survivors and their families. There are currently plans to expand the facility and add an outdoor garden, which will be lovely. I was sad to hear that there is a shortage of volunteers because this type of history should be protected and shared for generations to come. My only real complaint is that the "theater" where the movie is shown is in the middle of the exhibit hall and the background noise is a tad distracting when you're reading plagues and information boards (a group of people came in 30 minutes behind me). Although this is a small museum and perhaps a work-in-progress, I recommend it to anyone who, like me, enjoys a trip to the museum to learn new things. I took several courses revolving around the Holocaust in both high school and college, but I never heard the story of Fort Ontario. It is worth going to see for yourself to reflect upon Oswego, NY's place in WWII history.
