 The site that the new "French fort" was built upon was close to the original location since the original was covered by the parking lot of LeMoyne Manor.Starting in the 1970s it was run by Onondaga County Parks with costumed interpreters who portrayed the French and Haudenosaunee who had lived there.The style of interpretation was 3rd-person, meaning that the people portraying the characters dressed like the characters they represented, but spoke of them in the third person (Third-person).
