Learn everything you want to know and more about maritime history on Lake Ontario, the Oswego River and Canal. Tours of the museum and boat trip to the West Pierhead Lighthouse are world class destination trips! Access kayak, bike and snowshoe rentals on property with Oswego Expeditions.

This museum has it all. A real Normandy tug LT-5to a #8 Derrick boat to walk through. Inside the museum are beautiful displays of true native canoes through World War 2 treasures. A shining display of the magnificent port that Oswego has always been. As a bonus on Friday through Sunday you can take a boat to the working lighthouse and get a ticket for the museum afterwards. You won’t regret this visit.

This facility has undergone a complete transformation in the past 5 years and offers incredible information about the maritime past of upstate New York and Oswego. They offer lighthouse tours May through August every year and is a great place for children and adults alike.

Very Historical place its a nice tourist attraction if your not from oswego and want to no a little bit about oswego. Oswego was at one point a big shipping port and still is to this day but not so much as back in 18 and 19 hundreds. sense we have motor vehicle shipping and air shipping now.

Amazing local history. great volunteers! exhibit building size is deceptive. much larger (& fuller) than it appears, in comparison to 300 ft tankers that dock next to it on pier! Also several historic vessels- you can tour a couple, INCLUDED in an admission fee thats less than a fast food meal! Also a wonderful gift shop you can browse for free and find reasonably priced, diverse gifts, memorabilia and decor for self
