About Crossroads in Time:
OHAM&RC is please to announce the most ambitious publication in its nearly 145-year history.  Crossroads in Time:  An Illustrated History of Syracuse is a 208-page, hardcover book featuring over 225 images, many in color.  Along with an extensive text, it presents the truly engaging story of our city's growth and development over the last 200 years.  Crossroads in Time provides our community with a long-needed general history of Syracuse that will appeal to residents and visitors alike.

This energetic book was authored by OHAM&RC Curator of History, Dennis Connors, who also spent months combing the collection of OHAM&RC for a number of distinctive and unique illustrations, many of which have never been published before.  The book has been many years in the making and is being produced in cooperation with Syracuse University Press along with several generous corporate and institutional sponsors.  The price of the book is $49.95; $42.45 for members.  OHA's Museum Gift Shop will continue to be the exclusive outlet for the book until later this fall.  In addition to visiting the museum, phone orders may be placed by calling (315) 428-1864, extension 321.
