Mission: According to their website, "We Share Ogdensburg's Stories. At the Ogdensburg History Museum, we aspire to be more than simply a collection of unique objects. We are devoted to collecting, preserving, exhibiting, and interpreting the history of our city and helping people make personal connections to it. Our mission is to educate children and adults about Ogdensburg’s rich history from the settlement of indigenous people and the founding of Fort de la Presentation to Urban Renewal of the 1970s. Our vision is to deepen our understanding of our past, our present, and our future to strengthen the bonds of our community.
