Oswego County Tourism

Did you know that Oswego County is home to Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, the only female recipient of the Medal of Honor? 🎖 Dr. Walker will be recognized on June 8 at Oswego High School with the 13th coin to be released in the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters™ Program. The celebration is free to attend, but it is asked that you register: https://lnkd.in/ed4YKn6p. Each attendee will receive a Dr. Walker quarter at the celebration. If you are not able to attend the celebration, it will be livestreamed: https://lnkd.in/eqXkEysn. #visitoswegocounty

It's #NationalTravelandTourismWeek! 🗺 🎉 We're excited to spend this week showing off the great things we have around Oswego County! But more importantly, this week is a week to show the economic impacts of tourism in our area. Oswego County is famous for its incredible fishing opportunities. Recent numbers show that the economic impact from anglers was well over $192 million. Fishing licenses are sold annually to at least one person from each of the 50 states along with licenses sold to international visitors. We invite you to join in on the fun!

👂 Have you ever *heard* an eclipse? Probably not. But you will have that opportunity on April 8! Oswego County Tourism has a LightSound device that uses a technique called sonification which is the process of converting data (or light intensity in this case) to sound. This is an incredible way for people who are visually impaired to enjoy the upcoming solar eclipse. 🔈 Turn your volume up to hear what light transmitted into sound sounds like (in this case, it's the light from a flashlight.) The clicking in the middle is the sound that will take place during eclipse totality. ☀️🌑☀️ #visitoswegocounty #eclipseonthe8s

If there is one thing we cannot stress enough about the upcoming solar eclipse, it's that you need proper eyewear to view the eclipse safely. This news release contains helpful info regarding eclipse eyewear 🕶 : https://lnkd.in/eeN_zHju Many local events will have eclipse glasses available on a first come, first served basis. The tourism office will have a limited supply of glasses available and we will release information on how to obtain glasses in the coming days. ☀ 🌑 ☀ #visitoswegocounty
