After more than 30 years of dedicated service, Tom Hunter has retired from the Onondaga Historical Association.
Since joining OHA in 1989, Tom served as Curator of Collections, playing a vital role in preserving, cataloging, and sharing the material history of Onondaga County. Through his thoughtful stewardship, thousands of artifacts have been preserved and made accessible to researchers, students, and the public.
Tom also helped bring local history to life through exhibitions and provided steady leadership during important periods of transition, serving as OHA’s interim director on three occasions.
For more than three decades, Tom has been a valued colleague, trusted resource, and dedicated steward of our community’s history. His knowledge, generosity, and commitment to OHA have had a lasting impact on the organization and everyone who has had the pleasure of working with him.
We are deeply grateful for all he has contributed over the years and wish him nothing but the best in this next chapter.
Thank you, Tom, and congratulations on a well-earned retirement!
