Second Saturday at Fort Fisher Again Next Week

From the Visit NC site "2nd Saturday: "Spies, Signals and Secrets at Fort Fisher."

August 11th will be the final Second Saturday observation at Fort Fisher for the year.  I was fortunate to go to the last one.  This, of course, means re-enactors and cannon firings.

Hands-on activities will be available including the exploring of the signal flag alphabet and creation of cipher disks.  A discussion will be held about the life of Confederate spy Rose O'Neal Greenhow, who lost her life when the blockade-runner Condor ran aground at Fort Fisher.

Guided tours of the fort will also be given.

Sure Would Like to Be There.  --Old B-Runner
