Kingston & District Branch UELAC (In-Person and Virtual): “Fort Frontenac” by Jean Rae Baxter

April 22, 2023 @ 1:00 pm

Kingston & District Branch UELAC meets on Saturday, April 22 at 1:00 pm. This will be a Hybrid presentation with many of us in person at St. Paul’s Hall, 137 Queen Street, Kingston (doors open at 12:30 p.m.) Others will join us by Zoom about 1:00 pm.

Our Speaker will be Jean Rae Baxter with a talk called “Fort Frontenac: The Rise and Fall of New France’s Key to the West.” This presentation follows the fortunes of Fort Frontenac over the centuries — how it was knocked down, rebuilt, abandoned, rebuilt, blown up, rebuilt again, destroyed by the British in the last days of New France and, finally, became the site for the Loyalist settlement at Cataraqui following the American Revolution. And it all began with the beaver.

No registration required, link.
