Oswegatchie on The record : 1945 - 1955

11/21/2017

0 Comments

 
In the history of literature, the "journal entry style of writing" flourished with Bram Stoker's Dracula and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.  The following is not that interesting...

What we do have here is a compilation of records and correspondence from masters of parliamentary procedure and proper recorded minutes. The thorough use of the written record here is a testament to the early days of Oswegatchie's Founders.  As a sidenote, this the work of veterans of both WW1 and WW2. The testament to these men for doing what they did abroad and at home is a heavy legacy to consider. 

In the PDF below, you will find roses among the thorns, names important to the early days of OSwegatchie, and the changing of the guard as different people come and go, or need to change their focus from a summer camp to the rest of their lives. Additionally, you will find local names, businesses, and local spots referenced.

The following PDF can be downloaded and placed on your digital reader or computer. Be warned, it is 155 MB in size.

Oswegatchie History DVD

3/14/2017

2 Comments

 
In 1996, Oswegatchie put together a history video. It covered the years from 1880 to 1996. It tracked the history of the property from its origins as a logging camp, to being a resort, sitting dormant for 16 years, and its eventual use as a summer camp. 

The longer you have been a part of Oswegatchie, the better this video gets. The more of the history you discover, the better able you are to see our growth.

Oswegatchie now has the ability to copy this movie on to DVD and send to you at no cost. We are doing this this "in-house" to keep the cost of duplicating low. All we ask is that you you complete the attached form and give us a few days to get it in the mail to you.
​Remember, this video was made in 1996. Its was done just before the digital revolution. It was originally meant to be watched on a VHS cassette using a VCR. In the modern age of HD, It will look a bit rough. Regardless, we are lucky to have this archive at our finger tips.

We hope to do an update soon. We will share the next chapter with you when ready.

Thank You in Advance, 
Bill Waite
