KENT DELORD HOUSE MUSEUM

                                        Built in 1797, the house is one of the oldest residences in the area and filled with outstanding examples of paintings, furniture

                                        and decorative arts as well as household objects used by the Delord family from 1810 - 1913.  Henry Delord added the

                                        conservatory on the left for the raising of grapes.  British officers made their headquarters at the house during the Battle of

                                        Plattsburgh.  From September 6, 1814 to the beginning of the battle, the British Engineers used the house while they set up

                                        batteries in front of the house to bombard the American positions south of the Saranac River.  The British left a tea chest

                                        behind them when they hurriedly retreated.
