The History of Ossining
The first incorporated village in Westchester, Ossining is defined by a history of remarkable firsts: the county’s first newspaper, first volunteer fire department, first childcare facility, and first official American casualty of World War I.
One of its most enduring symbols is the infamous Sing Sing Prison, established in 1825. Although its presence has left an indelible mark on the village’s identity, the prison remains just one chapter in Ossining’s rich and textured story.
Local authors Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan will reveal the rich history of this unique community, the subject of their just-published book Ossining: A Brief History.
This free event is sponsored by Croton Friends of History.
