Originally called Dewey Music, the Oneida
Music Company was once located on Phelps Street in Oneida. Dewey Music had been operated for over 100 years by the Dewey family when William Dobs purchased
the store. After operating the business for four years, Mr. Dobs relocated to the corner of Main & Madison Streets,
where he continued to operate the store during the 1960's and 1970's. The
current owner purchased the business from Mr. Dobs in May of 1979. Four years
later the store was relocated to its present location on Route 5 in Oneida. Oneida Music Co. is the longest running business in Oneida
with a total of over 135 years in business.
