Fourth Annual War of 1812 Symposium

April 27-28, 2012

 Adjacent to the 22 February 1813 Battlefield

We are now accepting registrations for the Fort Association’s 2012 War of 1812 Symposium to be held at the Freight House Restaurant on Market Street in Ogdensburg. As in previous years, Friday evening will be a meet-and-greet. The seminars and related activities are on Saturday. All the facilities of the Freight House will be dedicated to the symposium.

The costs remain unchanged from last year, and there are expanded discounts. A number of registration and pricing options are available for the convenience of those who lead busy lives. The members discount is extended to members of Forsyth’s Rifles and the Canadian Friends of Fort de La Présentation, in addition to Fort Association members.

Students will receive a 50 percent discount on the member’s option they select. However, they must pay the full amount in advance to receive a cash rebate on signing into the symposium April 27 or 28 and presenting their student card with photo.
