The Fort La Presentation Association wants to build a replica of this French and Indian War era fort on the original site, Lighthouse Point in Ogdensburg, NY. You can see a drawing of the site plans here, an elevation here and plans for the visitor center here.
The fort was founded by the Abbe Francois Picquet in 1749. The Abbe wanted to convert the Iroquis to Catholicism and to make them allies of the French. Find much more history of the fort here.

Judged by the size of the geese in the lower left hand corner of that picture, that fort and all of those boats are tiny.
Either that, or those are really large Canadian honkers, and I would like to be the first to welcome our avian overlords.
