But the emphasis will be on learning, and the location will be the now legendary Minerva Fords in Adirondack Park, New York.
August 22 - 24, Bateau Weekend. At Battle of Plattsburgh Association Interpretive Center; Plattsburgh, New York. This is our opportunity to gain experience with the boats we will be using for the bateau trek in 2009.

Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you enjoyed it and learned something. If you are interested in learning more you might want to take some time to visit us at one of the local historic events we will be attending this year. Almost all the events except for the our annual Historic Adirondack Trek are open to the public.
The original Company of Select Marksmen was supposed to be 100 men strong. At the best of times it barely just made half that number. As a result membership in the organization is limited to about 50 men. Currently we have a small waiting list for members who wish to join us. If you would like more information regarding membership please contact one of our officers listed below. Finally, if you have comments or discover a dead link in this website please contact the Webmaster also listed below.
