It was standing room only this afternoon as author Martin Klotz presented his excellent program on Robert Rogers and Rogers’ Rangers as part of the Bold Gold Media Speaker Series at Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History in Narrowsburg, NY. It was extremely well done and very well received; a great way to commemorate the Semiquincentennial.

The Fort Delaware staff will be back at it tomorrow as we march inexorably toward the end of summer. We are open 10 to 5 Thursday thru Sunday until August 30, then weekends only until October 11. Also open Labor Day.

Come see why we say, “we live history!”

Fort Delaware is located on the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway at 6615 Route 97 in Narrowsburg, NY. Owned by Sullivan County and operated by The Delaware Company.

It’s a fact that many people today have based their knowledge of Robert Rogers on the early television series, “Northwest Passage” with Keith Larsen and Buddy Ebsen, or on the much different portrayal by Angus Macfadyen in the more recent television series “Turn: Washington’s Spies”. Or both.

But Robert Rogers was quite different from either of those portrayals… more complex, more nuanced, and more interesting.

Author Martin Klotz provides a glimpse into this early American icon in this afternoon’s program at Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History in Narrowsburg, NY.

The program starts at 4 p.m. in the event tent behind the Fort and opens with an introduction by Sullivan County Historian John Conway. It is FREE and open to the public.

This Saturday, August 22 at 4 p.m., the Bold Gold Media Speaker Series continues at Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History in Narrowsburg, NY with Martin Klotz, author of the 2024 book, “Robert Rogers, Ranger: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon.”

The program begins with a brief introduction by John Conway, Sullivan County Historian, president of The Delaware Company, and co-chair of the County’s Semiquincentennial Commission. The program is free and open to the public.

Why not spend the afternoon touring the Fort, hearing the stories of how the Revolutionary War destroyed Cushetunk, the first permanent European settlement in the Upper Delaware, and then stay for the program!? It’s a sure way to learn why at Fort Delaware it is said, “we live history!”

We hope to see you there…

Over the past two weekends, Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History in Narrowsburg, NY has hosted multiple visitors from Europe, including Ireland, England, France, Italy, and Poland, and they were all fascinated by our stories, truly an indication that American history is of interest to all.

We always recommend to all of our visitors that they include the Museum at Bethel Woods in their itinerary.

A number of years ago, The Delaware Company trademarked the concept of Revolution to Revolution to promote Sullivan County’s role in both the American Revolution of the 1770s and the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, and we continue to firmly believe these bookends can be the linchpin of an ongoing tourism revival here in Sullivan County.

We live history!
