Built in 1910 as Ogdensburg's fifth public school, this building was adapted for reuse in 1930 as the borough's first firehouse. In 1989, with the aid of two state grants, the Ogdensburg Historical Society adapted it for reuse and dedicated it as the Old Schoolhouse and Firehouse Museum. After 97 years, the museum continued to serve the borough of Ogdensburg as a historical learning and preservation center and as a meeting hall. On June 10, 2006, it was dedicated as an Ogdensburg Historic Site.
