Auriesville is a hamlet in the northeastern part of the Town of Glen in Montgomery County, New York, United States, along the south bank of the Mohawk River and west of Fort Hunter. It lies about forty miles west of Albany, the state capital. A Jesuit cemetery is located there, as French Jesuits founded a mission village here in the area from 1667 until 1684, when the Mohawk destroyed it. Auries is said to have been the name of the last Mohawk known to have lived there. Settlers named the village after him. Since the late 19th century, a Catholic tradition developed associating Auriesville as the site of the Mohawk village Ossernenon, where Jesuit missionaries were martyred in 1642 and 1646. The National Shrine of the North American Martyrs was built here in 1930 and has added to its grounds. But, according to Dean R. Snow and other late 20th-century archeologists specializing in Native American history, Ossernenon was located about 9 miles west on a tributary on the south side of the Mohawk River. Archeologists who have excavated there refer to it as the Bauder site. The association of Auriesville with Ossernenon has not been supported by archeological evidence.
Jogues and Goupil were brought to the village on the Mohawk in 1642 as prisoners, and in 1646 Jogues again, with Lalande. The researches of John Gilmary Shea, whose knowledge of the history of the early mission was so profound, at first favored the view that the old village was on the other side of the Mohawk at what is now Tribes Hill. In 1644 François-Joseph Bressani was tortured there, and later on, Joseph Poncet. Clarke of Auburn, whose knowledge of Indian sites both in New York and Huronia is indisputable, have shown finally that the present Auriesville is the exact place in which Father Jogues and his companions suffered death. The exact location of this village, which is so intimately associated with the establishment of Christianity in New York, was for a time a subject of considerable dispute.
There is no news for this location at this time.
