It is held at Fort Plain Museum and Historical Park, 389 Canal Street, Fort Plain, New York.

French and Indian War and colonial American history scholars and enthusiasts attend.

It is worth it for serious enthusiasts and scholars of the French and Indian War and colonial Mohawk Valley history, since the program centres on Sir William Johnson and the wars for empire, with speakers including David L. Preston, James Kirby Martin and Glenn F. Williams. Readers without a specific interest in 18th-century frontier warfare, politics and diplomacy would get less from it, and the setting at Fort Plain Museum and Historical Park makes it a small, single-topic event rather than a broad professional meeting.

Attendees at history conferences at museums usually wear casual or smart casual clothes, and comfortable shoes suit a historical park site in Fort Plain.
