Hamilton Littlefield House
About
Hamilton Littlefield House was the home of Hamilton and Rhoda Littlefield, who made it a significant stop on the Underground Railroad in Oswego County. It stands as a reminder of the people who risked a great deal to help others reach freedom, and of Oswego’s place in that history.
When the house was renovated in 2000, several abolitionist writings turned up hidden above the kitchen ceiling. Oswego sits on Lake Ontario, a short crossing from Canada, which made the city a natural point on the route north.
