Previous years calendars are still available

Most of the previous years’ calendars are still available for sale and include many more photographs and historic essays related to the Village and Town of Champlain, New York.

The calendars are priced the same as when they were first sold. This is because these calendars contain historic photographs and an historic essay that has no relevance to the year that it was sold in. The majority of people buying this calendar have bought it for the pictures and descriptions and not for the actual calendar showing the days of the month. Thus, I believe that these calendars hold their value regardless of the year that they are sold in. I have had many requests from people over the years who have purchased a calendar several years after it was produced. I have been told that many people are collecting the entire series. I thank the people who have purchased my calendars and have held on to them as keepsakes.

The 2003 calendar had a three page history of the Village of Champlain but is not available (it sold out).

His portraits made c1904-1907 are found at the Clinton County Historical Association and were printed. Additional subjects include photographers L.P.

2017 had a 19 page history that described the history of Point au Fer on Lake Champlain. This was a post that had been controlled by the French, British and American forces at different times during the French and Indian War and Revolutionary War. It includes recently discovered information never before published related to President George Washington's involvement with British harassment of people in the Town of Champlain long after the Revolutionary War ended. ($15.00 plus $3.00 s/h)

Looks like 2017 was the last historic calendar I will make. Don't worry, I have a number of other projects that I have been working on and they may someday be printed.
