The War of 1812 saw Ogdensburg attacked from across the frozen St. Lawrence River. Attendees saw muskets and cannons firing as soldiers fought their way through the city's streets.

An afternoon reenactment of the Battle of Ogdensburg took place in the same place as the actual battle, at the corner of Riverside and Franklin streets and ends at State and Ford streets.

Blasts of cannons could be heard Saturday as local reenactors fend off the British and Canadian Redcoat invaders in the Battle of Ogdensburg.

A ceremonial wreath laying to honor Sheriff York, an 18th century medical presentation and coffee at the city museum were also planned as part of the event.

Forsyth's Rifles and the Fort La Presentation Association organized the historical event. Reenactors from across New York State and southern Ontario participate to celebrate this important event in American and Canadian history.

A second battle will be held at Lighthouse Point today (Sunday, Feb. 18) at 1:30 p.m.
