The Fort Ontario Conference on History and Archaeology explores new perspectives on warfare and human conflict in North America from its first appearance in the archaeological record around 5000 BCE to the war on terrorism.
This year, the Fort Ontario conference is an official event of the New York State World War I Centennial Commemoration Committee, and the slate of afternoon speakers will be dedicated to presentations on U.S. and Canadian participation in the “War to end all Wars.” On Sunday, a guided bus tour will take participants to regional sites of 1812 activity from Oswego to Sackets Harbor.
Pre-registration and payment is required. Registration for Saturday is $35 and is the same for Sunday’s bus tour. Registration for both days is $60. The student rate is $50 for both days, $25 for Saturday, and $35 for Sunday.
