Welcome to Kit!

Oswego County Historical Society is happy to be moving to Kit for all future email blasts to our mailing list. We're transitioning away from Mailchimp for a number of reasons, rising costs and changes to their platform being the primary ones. We hope that Kit offers a better experience to our email subscribers, and help make signing up for our mailing list easier going forward!

If you've been a subscriber to our mailing list, your information should have transitioned over automatically (which is how you're receiving this email!). Our move to this platform might be the perfect time for you to manage your preferences, just to make sure the information we have about you is up-to-date. If you'd no longer like to receive emails from us, this is also a perfect time to unsubscribe; we'll be sad to see you go, but we totally understand.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support of Oswego County Historical Society and the Richardson-Bates House Museum. And welcome to Kit!

Joey Sweener
​Secretary, Oswego County Historical Society
