It's been slow going getting Abbe Picquet's monument back up at its new location in Ogdensburg.
The obelisk was dismantled this week at its previous location at Notre Dame church and moved a block away to its original site on Lighthouse Point.
Officials with the Fort LaPresentation association hoped to have it back up at its new/original site for the 4th of July weekend.
As of Thursday evening, however, the obelisk lay in sections on the ground, and some of them still on the bed of a truck.
The rededication of the monument at its restored location is scheduled for Founder's Day Weekend, July 18th and 19th.
The French priest Francois Piquet build Fort LaPresentation on Lighthouse Point in 1749 as a mission to convert Native Americans to Catholicism, and as raiding platform against the British.
It was captured by the British in the French and Indian War.
The Fort association plans to build a replica of the fort near its original location.
