Half-Shire Historical Society

Founded in 1972, the Half-Shire Historical Society preserves and promotes the unique history and genealogy of northern Oswego County and the Tug Hill region. Operating out of the historic Richland school building just minutes from Pulaski, the society acts as both an educational museum and a premier regional research center. Visitors can explore extensive exhibits on rural agricultural and military life spanning from 1800 to 1950, or utilize vast local archives of town profiles, obituaries, and family records. Committed to community enrichment, Half-Shire actively fosters heritage tourism, collaborates with local schools and organizations, and offers public research assistance by appointment.
