Onondaga Historical Association

[5] OHA runs multiple other entities, such as the Skä•noñh: Great Law of Peace Center, which preserves the culture of the Haudenosaunee[1] — the endonym which the Iroquois Nation is also known as.

Other extensions of the OHA include the Sainte Marie Among the Iroquois Mission Site Museum, which exhibits a recreation of the Sainte Marie de Gannentaha Jesuit mission,[6] and the Brewseum at Heritage Hill, which showcases the area's brewery history.

In 1894, its collection was taken out of storage and opened for public viewing in exhibit rooms in the Syracuse Savings Bank building.

[3] OHA's building at 311 Montgomery St. was built in 1896, and was purchased by the association in 1905 with funds gifted by William Kirkpatrick, who was a long-time supporter of the corporation.

In 2005, OHA's building at 311 Montgomery St. was sold to Russ Andrews, a Syracuse businessman, and his wife, Linda Henley, for $80,000.

[3] Some of the key founders of the Onondaga Historical Association were Henry D. Didama, James Noxon, Homer DeLois Sweet, and John A.

[13] Didama earned the highest honor of law degrees, an LL.D., at Syracuse University and also became the dean of SU’s College of Medicine.

The Onondaga Historical Museum and Gift Gallery store are located in downtown Syracuse, New York, along with the Richard and Carolyn Wright Research Center.

[2] Liverpool, New York houses additional locations such as the Skä•noñh – Great Law of Peace Center and Gift Gallery and the St. Marie Among the Iroquois Mission Site Museum.

[19] The museum offers historical information and a replica of the original mission site, which was equipped with a chapel, sleeping quarters, blacksmith's and carpenter's shops, and a kitchen.

[19] The Brewseum at Heritage Hill showcases antique and rare items that reflect pre-Prohibition era breweries.

The museum operates alongside the Heritage Hill Brewhouse,[7] which offers handcrafted beer from its property that also has an active crop and animal farm.

[22] One additional permanent exhibit at the museum is called “Onondaga County: The Heart of New York” and covers the broader history of the area, including topics such as Native American life, the Erie Canal, local industries, and the railroad.
