OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum’s Art Highlights and Tea series will be at 2 p.m. on March 9.

Museum Trustee Dick Johnson will talk about the Brockville and Morristown Transportation Company, which operated ferryboats on the St. Lawrence River for nearly 50 years, ending in 1952.

The company ferried passengers, vehicles, livestock, and freight between the two St. Lawrence River communities.

Johnson is the grandson of Frank L. Scott, who founded the ferry business in 1908, and of Dorothy Scott Kury, who ran the business after Frank Scott’s death in 1935.

The talk is free and open to the public, presented in the museum’s Tiffany Room.

At 3 p.m., tea will be served, courtesy of Glory Martel and friends.
