It’s the FRIDAY FIVE! SWIPE ⬅️ to learn the FIVE THINGS that inspire Robert Searing, Curator of History at the Onondaga Historical Association. Special thanks to our friends at for helping bring important stories like Bob’s to life each and every week in the FRIDAY FIVE!
If you love Syracuse history, chances are you’ve come across Bob’s work. Whether through his weekly columns in Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard, his “Repeating History” podcast on WCNY, or one of the many museums he helps oversee through the Onondaga Historical Association, Bob has a gift for making history feel relevant, accessible, and alive.
What I admire most about Bob is his passion for preserving and sharing the stories that make our community unique. Under his leadership, OHA has expanded its reach through destinations like the Regional Aviation History Museum, the Brewseum, the Onondaga Veterans Museum, and the Skä•noñh Great Law of Peace Center. He reminds us that understanding where we’ve been helps us better appreciate where we’re going. These are the FIVE THINGS that inspire him.
Special thanks to Bob for participating in this week’s FRIDAY FIVE and to our friends at for helping bring important stories like Bob’s to life each and every week in the FRIDAY FIVE!
