The story of Ameriga Vespucci

The story of Ameriga Vespucci’s life was performed by the Grasse River Players at the Frederic Remington Art Museum (formerly known as Parish Mansion). Ameriga lived in the Parish Mansion as George Parish’s mistress and many rumors have been told about her life including that she came to Ogdensburg as a wager won in a local poker game. Rebecca MacDougall played Ameriga Vespucci and Derrick Conway played Daniel Webster. Photo submitted.
