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.
