Ogdensburg Through Time

Ogdensburg's transformation comes vividly into focus through historical and contemporary imagery. Ogdensburg Through Time invites readers on a visual journey through the city's remarkable transformation. From Fr. Picquet's humble frontier fort at the confluence of the Oswegatchie and St. Lawrence Rivers to a bustling industrial and cultural center, Ogdensburg's evolution is captured through historical photographs paired with contemporary images. These side-by-side comparisons reveal not only how landscapes, streets, and landmarks have changed, but also how the spirit of the community has endured. Witness the rise of mills and river commerce, the growth of early hospitals and schools, the era of trolleys and opera houses, and the craftsmanship of the famed Horwood stained-glass studios. Though today's city is but a shadow of its industrious past, this collection offers an opportunity to rediscover the places that shaped generations. A blend of history and photography, this book celebrates Ogdensburg's rich heritage.
