Oswego

A view from 1939:

OSWEGO, (2,026 alt., 150 pop.), was named by early settlers from Oswego, N. Y. It consists of scattered buildings that escaped the flames of a devastating fire. Old-timers' reunions are popular summer events here. The oldsters, wearing the garb of the 1880's and 1890's, mingle with members of the third generation. In the evening all dance the lively two-step and polka, to music furnished by local fiddlers. Between dances the settlers swap yarns of the days when they rode the range. Just west of Oswego is an Indian Cemetery with graves above the ground.
