OSWEGO — Friends of Fort Ontario will offer free, self-guided and socially distant First Day Hikes of the 75-acre Fort Ontario National Register District on New Year’s Day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The tour will incorporate copies of original photographs of the old stone fort as well as the surrounding buildings and grounds as they appeared during the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918-19 that killed 72 soldiers, nurses and civilians at the fort, more than 200 Oswego citizens, and 675,000 Americans overall. Hikers are asked to report to the old stone fort where they will receive a guide booklet which includes a map that will bring them to points where they will stand in the footsteps of photographers to view images and witness how the landscape has evolved since World War I.
