In honor of Black History Month, Onondaga Historical Association will present a 45-minute play, “Salt City Abolitionists,” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, in the auditorium at OHA. Audience members can participate with actors playing two of the Salt City’s most famous abolitionists, the Rev. Samuel May (Scott Peal) and Caroline Loguen (Toni Jones) as they organize a meeting in the aftermath of the Jerry Rescue in 1851.
Also during Winter Break at OHA, Feb. 22 – 26, students can visit the museum and play a game called “History in the Making” where they discover answers to questions related to the history of Onondaga County.
Those successfully completing all the questions will win a history-themed prize of their choice. The game is available during regular museum hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wed. – Friday, Feb. 22-24, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 25-26.
