Remington Gala Honors Fort La Presentation

The theme this year was chosen to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the French and Indian War. Ogdensburg's Fort De La Presentation played an important role in this War. Decorations, silent auction items, and colonial demonstrations will celebrate our heritage by referencing our early history. Fort and Museum supporters please gather your friends and attend this fun night of food, music, dancing and a silent auction.



Win a Collier’s print, Drifting Before the Storm, 1904 by Frederic Remington. The antique print, which retails at $2,155, came about through a 1903 contract between Frederic Remington and Collier’s Magazine. Tickets are $10 each or 5 for $40. The drawing will be held during the Gala.



The cost to attend this year’s event is $45/museum member and $50/non-member. Purchase your tickets on or before December 10th to receive a $5 discount.
