Safe Haven

Upstate Attractions Episode 103 | 28m 1s | CC

Fort Ontario in Oswego, N.Y. has a storied history, playing a role in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. But most notably, it was the only shelter in the United States for Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust. Together, the Education Center and the physical Fort provide an experiential learning opportunity for visitors.
