Friends of Historic Onondaga Lake, Inc.

Friends of Historic Onondaga Lake, Inc. is a nonprofit membership organization based in Liverpool that supports the historic side of Onondaga Lake. Its work backs the Salt Museum and Sainte Marie among the Iroquois, a living history site on the lake’s shore. Both sites are in Onondaga Lake Park near Liverpool.

Onondaga Lake holds a central place in the region’s story, from its meaning for the Haudenosaunee to the salt industry that gave Syracuse its Salt City nickname. A friends group helps keep those stories alive for visitors and residents.
