In early 2020, curators and historians at the New York State Museum were mapping out an expansive exhibit remembering the 1971 Attica uprising one to be featured during the riot s 50th anniversary year that would trace not only the history of the inmate revolt but also its enduring legacy.
Then COVID-19 came.
As with museums across the country, the State Museum facilities were shuttered, exhibits closed, and many plans either delayed or derailed. But the State Museum decided that it did not want the half-century anniversary of the nation s deadliest prison uprising to pass without some spotlight on its history.
OGDENSBURG â The cityâs Fort de la Presentation will undergo several renovations soon, including the cityâs own archeological park.
The Fort de la Presentation Association, which owns 25 acres of property at Van Rensselaer Point, recently acquired the Thomas Duffy property on Van Rensselaer, bringing the total amount of property to 27 acres.
âThe property we bought has the remains of the actual fort on it,â Fort Association President Barbara OâKeefe said. âUnderneath it, archeologists have found at least the bastion of the fort and a lot of 18th century artifacts from the French and British period and the War of 1812, the American period.â
