Your Child Could Become a History Buff at Fort Fisher This Summer

From the June 14, 2018, WECT, NBC, Wilmington, N.C. by Ashlea Kosikowski.

The North Carolina Junior reserves played a role in the defense of Fort Fisher back in 1864-1865.  They were made up of boys too young for the regular military, age 17.

They also took part in the battles of Wyse Fork and Bentonville.

Your child will have the chance to become a member of this famed group on Fridays this summer at Fort Fisher State Historic Site in Kure Beach.  Times will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..

Children will learn all sorts of soldier stuff, including drill, toy soldiers, engineering and other things.
