The War of 1812 Museum

KeyBank Gallery

Julian Davidson - Battle of Lake Champlain

The KeyBank Gallery was made possible by the direct gift of the nationally-acclaimed Julian Davidson painting Battle of Lake Champlain and the continued support of KeyBank of New York.

The Gallery houses original works of art related to the Battles at Plattsburgh and the War of 1812. Works by nationally known and local artists are featured throughout the gallery.

The Association-commissioned work Close Action by Alabama artist Dean Mosher captures the moment of command decision aboard Macdonough’s flagship.

Current Exhibits

The Battle of Plattsburgh Association’s newest exhibit Secrets Beneath the Surface - Forgotten Artifacts of the Battle of Plattsburgh is now open. The exhibit is made possible with a grant through the Lake Champlain Basin Program. Secrets Beneath the Surface is located in the changing exhibit space of the War of 1812 Museum. Come learn about the naval portion of the Battle of Plattsburgh (September 11, 1814) through the artifacts themselves. Explore the underwater environment of Plattsburgh Bay through maps and video. The exhibit also looks at the laws and regulations regarding artifacts that have been recovered in the past and how recovery and conservation are viewed today.
