Owego

Amos Draper was a successful trader in Upstate New York in the years following the American Revolution, and he was especially fond of an area along the Susquehanna River in present day Tioga County. In 1787, Amos and his wife Lydia built a log cabin on the north bank of the Susquehanna River near the confluence with Owego Creek – establishing themselves as the first settlers in what would become the village of Owego.https://youtu.be/vhwdjxEp7t0Funding provided by a grant from Empire State Development.Links:Path Through History: https://paththroughhistory.iloveny.com/WSKG’s Path Through History: https://www.wskg.org/pth
