Amboy Historian

The Amboy Historian is the local history contact for the town of Amboy in Oswego County, operating out of Williamstown. New York towns appoint historians to look after local records, photographs and stories, and to answer questions from residents, students and researchers who want to know more about the area’s past.

A town historian is a good first call for anyone curious about family histories, old buildings and how a rural community developed over time. It is also the place to bring old photographs and documents so that they are preserved instead of lost in an attic.
