The gift shop offers a unique "special item" - a rare 1914 panoramic view of the Oswego Harbor, custom-framed and double-matted in a 34"x 12 1/4" format by the Picture Connection.

The original photograph was taken by the Haines Photo Company of Conneaut, Ohio, and depicts the near east side of the Oswego River, its far west side, and the point where the river empties into Lake Ontario. The photographer in 1914 probably stood on the bluff at Fort Ontario. This unique historical view, professionally framed with a custom rag double matte and Old English wood frame, makes a handsome addition to any office, den or living room.
