The Safe Haven Museum and Education Center is dedicated to keeping alive the stories of 982 Holocaust refugees who were allowed into the United States. They were considered guests of President Franklin D.

The museum is located at 2 E. Seventh Street, Oswego, NY near the ​Fort Ontario State Historic Site.
