EARLY FRENCH HISTORY
Early records of the exploration of the
French in North America tell us that they
were in the area of Cape Vincent as early as
1615. This area was also occupied by the indians and used as their hunting grounds for
many years. In 1655 the French missionary
priests Father Chaumonoit, Father Dablon
and Father Simon LeMoyne came among
the Onondaga Indians to establish missions
and homes.
James LeRay de Chaumont acquired
many thousands of acres of land in Northern New York in the late 1790’s and early
1800’s. Cape Vincent was named after his
son, Vincent LeRay. Father and son worked
together and used their influence back in
their homeland to attract many French emigres and refugees of the Napoleonic regime
to come and settle in Cape Vincent and surrounding areas.
Some of the refugees returned to France
after a few years but a majority of the emi-
gres stayed on and many of their descendants still live in the area. Reminders of our
French history include many family names,
homes, personal belongings, letters and
other documents.
For more information about Cape Vincent’s history and its French background,
we invite you to visit the Cape Vincent
Community House and Museum on Market
Street, the Cape Vincent Museum on North
James Street and the Cape Vincent Community Library on Real Street.
In Memory :
It is with much sadness
to report the loss of the
beautiful white horse that has
appeared in the
French Festival parade.
Talley’s Sheik TC
lost his courageous battle
with cancer on January, 13, 2014.
TC has been ridden by
Napoleon for the past 8 years.
He was owned by Barbara Belcher
of Perch River Ranch.
TC will be sadly missed!

Each year the Cape Vincent
French Festival Committee has
the privilege to acknowledge the
outstanding commitment and
contributions of an individual
who exemplifies volunteerism
in support of the French Festival. Again this year the committee discussed a number of
deserving contributors and ultimately decided by unanimous
vote to dedicate the 2014
French Festival to George
Elmer.
George has been the Master of Ceremonies for the French Festival for the past
41 years. He and his wife Marcia reside
near Albany, NY. They met at Marcia’s
family’s business, Docteur’s Cottages,
when George and his family spent summers
in Cape Vincent. They married in 1973
and have 3 children, Shawn, Steven and
Sherry and a grandson and granddaughter.
George and Marcia love to travel to tropical locations during the winter months.
Every year George arrives on the Friday
of French Festival weekend and meets with
the committee to catch up on the happenings and upcoming events. He gets all the
information together and organizes it in a
notebook in chronological order. He also
adds entries for the many yearly events to
announce to the attendees. He arranges for
the sound system to be set up correctly and
makes sure the sound will be heard
throughout the festivities. He assists Dave
Parker in getting the PA ready
with the French music that is
heard during the festival.
On Saturday, George meets
the guests of the reviewing
stand and visits with them
making them feel welcome. At
11 am he starts the Opening
Ceremonies. He introduces the
guests and ensures that the program runs smoothly. Anthems
are sung and Miss French Festival is crowned for the new
year.
During the parade George
announces every entry with precision and
humor that only George has the ability to
achieve. After the parade, George remains
in place and introduces the performing
bands in front of the reviewing stand. Over
the years, he has endured blistering heat,
thunder and lightning, pouring rain and
blustery winds all with never a complaint.
For the past few years, in September,
George has also made his pilgrimage from
Albany to Cape Vincent for the Annual
Cape Vincent Chamber of Commerce
membership dinner and Citizen of the Year
ceremony. He has been the emcee for the
event and has assisted in making it run
smoothly with his professionalism and wit.
The French Festival Committee and the
Cape Vincent Chamber of Commerce
would like to thank Master of Ceremonies,
George Elmer, for his unwavering commitments to the community. We could not
imagine a French Festival without you!

Why a “French” Festival?
Napoleon Bonaparte is the most widely renowned leader of France and he is often regarded as one of the greatest military leaders ever. Napoleon is a widely recognizable
representative of France. We cannot claim to have actually had Napoleon himself in the
North Country but there is no doubt that the Bonaparte name and the French influence
are apparent in the area.
While in his heyday, Napoleon gave his several brothers the crowns of countries he
conquered. His older brother, Giuseppe (Joseph) Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned
King of Spain but fled Spain with the crown jewels and other treasures after defeat at
the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. He returned to France and supported and soldiered for his
younger brother, Napoleon. After Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Joseph negotiated a small part of his remaining valuables with James Le Ray de Chaumont, a naturalized American citizen, for some 27,000 acres of land in the North Country.
Napoleon was to join his elder bother in America but chose
to surrender to the English and suffered his second exile,
this time to the small island of St. Helena. Joseph and a
cadre of Bonapartists are said to have hatched a plan to
spirit Napoleon from St. Helena to Cape Vincent.
Rumor has it that the Cup and Saucer House built by
Count Pierre Francoise Real (where the Cape Vincent
Community Library stands today) had a never-occupied room in the cupola held especially for Napoleon.
Although Joseph made several appearances there, the
news of Napoleon’s death in 1821 caused the conspiring exiles to leave Cape Vincent. Only the Peugnet
brothers stayed, Theophilus in the Cup and Saucer
House until it burned in 1867.
In 1835, Joseph Bonaparte sold his remaining North
Country holdings to John La Farge, another Frenchman. Despite Napoleon himself never making his way
to the North Country, Lake Bonaparte was part of
Joseph’s tract and carries the family name. Other
French names are obvious throughout the area. James
Le Ray de Chaumont left his name to two townships in
the area. He was instrumental in the establishment of
mills, wharves and roads that precipitated many French
political refugees to settle in the North Country. Le
Ray built the Stone House here in the former Gravelly
Point, for his son, Vincent and named the burgeoning
village Cape Vincent in his honor. Le Ray de Chaumont names are prolific in the area as James held, at
one point or another, hundreds of thousands of acres Cape Vincent for one son, Alexandria Bay for another,
Theresa for a daughter, even Plessis, after the family
dog.
While we honor and respect all the French influence in our history, it is not inappropriate to choose
Napoleon as an excellent ‘symbol’ to lead our French
Day Parade.

The Lighthouse, one of the oldest on the Great Lakes, stands at the outlet of Lake Ontario and the head of the
St. Lawrence River. Officially in May 1981, the Coast Guard left the Lighthouse, and the living quarters are
now used by Hostelling International. However, the Coast Guard still administers the light tower with automation operations coming from Oswego. Tibbetts Point has the only operating Fresnel Lens on Lake Ontario.

Museum brilliantly displays the history of Cape Vincent in one of the communities’ oldest buildings. This venerable stone structure was used as a barracks
to house soldiers during the War of 1812. Later on, the Forsythe Brothers manufactured ironwork for sailing vessels and cookstoves during its days as a
foundry and machine shop. It has also served as a Town Barn and the Chamber of Commerce offices. In May of 1992, the Museum was dedicated.
