Preserving the History of the Sparta Neighborhood in Ossining, NY


Join us for our Annual Meeting on Monday, May 4 which includes our first Sparta Speaks of the season!


Protecting Hope

Ossining Village Historian Joyce Sharrock Cole discovered and researched the story of Sparta resident Captain Lewis Brady. On June 7, 2025 she changed the lives of the Brady family descendants by sharing the Captain's story of resilience, freedom and community, right here in Sparta where it all happened. Below are links to the ABC news coverage by Quentin Tice and a video that tells the story of Capt. Lewis Brady.
