Step inside the rich—and possibly mysterious—past of Oneonta, New York in this in-depth interview with the Executive Director of the Oneonta History Center. 🏛️

In this video, we explore how Oneonta grew from a small frontier settlement into a bustling railroad town, why it earned the nickname “The City of the Hills,” and how the arrival of the railroad in the 19th century transformed it into a major transportation and industrial hub.

The conversation also takes an intriguing turn as we discuss the artifacts housed within the Oneonta History Center—objects that once belonged to the people who built, worked, and lived in the city. Could some of these items still carry an imprint of their former owners?

The director shares behind-the-scenes insights into the work of the History Center, from safeguarding fragile artifacts to uncovering forgotten stories—and why preserving the past matters, whether through documented facts or unexplained experiences. If you love local history with a hint of the paranormal, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
