One hundred years ago this week, a massive explosion rocked the heart of our city, and by morning, a beloved landmark was gone. 🏛️🔥
As your Ogdensburg City Historian, I am excited to announce the premiere of my latest video: The Opera House Fire of 1926. The "Town Hall and Opera House" was once the center of our community—hosting famous performers and housing our city and town offices—on the very site where City Hall stands today. This video takes you back to that freezing January night to uncover:
💥 The mysterious explosion that preceded the blaze.
🚒 The valiant efforts of our firefighters in the bitter cold.
📉 How this "irreparable loss" changed the landscape of Ogdensburg history.
📅 PREMIERE DATE: Thursday, January 22, 2026
🕖 TIME: 7:00 PM
