Ossining Covid Project

Logo for Covid Project

Ossining residents, we need your help! We invite you to participate in writing our current history by sharing your personal experiences from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future generations will want to know how Ossining managed everyday life -- how we endured as a community.

The purpose of this form is to collect your contribution to our Ossining Covid Project. Use the form below to submit your story, photograph, poem, or anything else you would like to share. Be as creative as you like or simply answer the questions below. There is no pressure to submit a “perfect” story, as all great stories are universal, and something we all do naturally.

Keep in mind that submissions will be a part of our public record. Please only submit the information that you are comfortable sharing with the community.

We look forward to reading your story!
