The Perry Gang: Ossian Train Robbers

April 19, 2026 at 1:30 pm at Livingston County Museum with William Burt

Come learn about the Perry Gang. They rampaged through western NY from 1905 to 1929, robbing trains at gunpoint, looting moving freight cars, breaking into cars sitting in yards, and blowing safes in railroad stations. Though they started out in Niagara Falls and haunted the New York Central Falls Road and Hojack, some of their most memorable heists were on the Erie between Hornell and Portage and the Lackawanna between Atlanta and Wayland.
