OGDENSBURG -- Re-enactors from New York and Canada will present “Living History Day” on May 20 for more than 300 students from the Ogdensburg city and Heuvelton, and Morristown central school districts.

Students can watch demonstrations of open-hearth cooking, rope making, lighting, butter churning, weaving and toys.

A biologist will talk about native river life.

There will also be a scavenger hunt for prizes.

This is the seventh year the event has taken place at Van Rensselaer Point, the original site of Fort de la Présentation, which was constructed in the 1700s.

The event is sponsored by the Fort de la Présentation Association, Heuvelton Central School, Ogdensburg City Schools, the Heuvelton Lions Club, the Ogdensburg Teacher's Association, the Heuvelton Teacher’s Association, and the Heuvelton PTA.
