THANK YOU to everyone who worked at the 2007 Symposium. The efforts of a small army of dedicated individuals, brought together historians, educators, researchers, authors, museum curators, enthusiasts and fans of Sir William Johnson (Warragh-i-ya-gey) to an idyllic location in upstate New York. That location, at Fulton Montgomery Community College, resides half way between Johnson's two surviving baronial manor homes, Johnson Hall (1763) and Old Fort Johnson (1749).
From Dublin to California to Toronto to just down the road, guest speakers filled a two day agenda, with research papers and presentations, on Johnson and his role in colonial New York. Well over 300 attendees filled the Visual Arts Auditorium for the weekend.
"RE-ENVISIONING HISTORY” Exhibit at the Perrella Gallery, FMCC All sessions will be held at Fulton-Montgomery Community College, Johnstown New York. The presentations on Saturday (8-5 pm) and Sunday (8-1 pm) are free and open to the public. Associated historic sites will have open house tours on Sunday 1-5 pm. Click Here for Schedule Johnson Papers Focus of Commission Legacy Project The NYS French & Indian War 250th Anniversary Commemoration Commission used the Lake George Battlefield as a backdrop to announce on November 29, 2006, that the Sir William Johnson Papers would be digitized as the Commission Legacy Project. Owned by the New York State Library, the 14 volumes of Johnson Papers contain a wealth of information about life in upstate New York in the 18th century. The F&I 250th Commission and the NYS Library have partnered to fund the digitization of all of these papers, and make them available online to individuals, schools and libraries across the state. Nick Westbrook, Vice-Chair of the F&I Commission will demonstrate the final product at the Western Frontier Symposium. REGISTRATION BROCHURE is now available as a PDF download, HERE.
