The Abbé Picquet monument was re-dedicated July 18, 2009 following the return of the obelisk to Lighthouse Point from Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church. The Fort la Présentation Assocation Board of Directors undertook the project with the cooperation of the City of Ogdensburg, Notre Dame Parish and the Swe-Kat-Si Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Financial support came from the Sweet Grass Foundation and a David Dickinson Sponsorship from New York State's French and Indian War 250th Anniversary Commemoration Commission.
