Inside the exhibit gallery you’ll see Onondaga Pottery, Comfort Tyler’s Tavern, Good Shepherd Hospital, salt towers, and several others depicting the diverse places to work in Onondaga County from the early 19^th through the late 20^th centuries.

This is the third in a series of thematic exhibits begun in 2006. The first exhibit in this series explored OHA’s extensive portrait collection, the second, transportation. The multi-year series is designed to use OHA’s sizable art collection combined with interpretive exhibit labels to not only educate visitors about the theme but to encourage viewers to use visual information to extract historical content from artworks. Local teachers and students will find subjects meeting their document-based questions social studies standards within the exhibit. Possible future thematic exhibits in this series are Children, Landscape and Women Artists.
