Description
Le Siège
Presented By: Fort La presentation Association
Sat. July 19 - Sun. July 20, 2025 | 10AM - 2PM
Formerly Founder’s Weekend, the Le Siège will bring Reenactors from throughout the U.S. and Canada help celebrate Ogdensburg’s French colonial history, and to live life as people did during the French and Indian War. The weekend seeks to recreate history and bring it to life featuring live re-enactments of land and water battles, and showcasing French, British, native and maritime encampments. This event has been ongoing for a decade and is especially instructive to children who can touch, feel and live history. Participants dressed in clothing from the time period will show how they lived, made sashes, wove baskets, started fires and threw tomahawks.
Throughout the weekend there will be demonstrations and presentations of both civilian and military life. These activities will include:
Saturday, July 19
Fort La presentation Association will be hosting a French and Indian War reenactment.
Sunday, July 20
Fort La presentation Association will be hosting a French and Indian War reenactment. There will be Children’s Activities, Historical Talks, Demonstrations, and Food Vendors.
