History can be odd sometimes, and so are some of the items people have decided to keep throughout the years, from a fashionable woman’s caplet, possibly made of dog or monkey fur, to Victorian postcards with locks of hair to a metal model of the human body, the Little White School Museum’s latest seasonal exhibit includes some of the museum’s oddest, most unusual, and sometimes downright weird objects, some that have never been exhibited before.

The exhibit in the museum’s main Roger Matile Room, will run now through June 3. Regular hours are Thursday and Friday, 2 to 6:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Monday, 4 to 9 p.m. The museum, located at 72 Polk St., just two blocks east of Oswego’s historic downtown business district, is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Admission is free, but donations are always gratefully accepted.
