Walk the "Sugar Loaf Line of Defense" March 17


From the Federal Point Historical Preservation Society.  Carolina Beach, N.C.  (south of Wilmington)

Saturday, March 17, 2018, people will be able to walk the Confederate Sugar Loaf Line of Defense with noted Civil War historian, professor and author Chris Fonvielle.  I doubt that there is anyone who knows more about Fort Fisher and the Wilmington Campaign.

The walking tour will be from 2 to 4 p.m..  A $10 donation would be appreciated.

This will also include Confederate entrenchments in the proposed "Ryder Lewis Park."

After the fall of Fort Fisher on January 15, 1865, Confederates used this line of defense to slow the Union advance on Wilmington.
