Always Something Going On at Fort Fisher
From the June 17, 2018, WECT NBC Wilmington, N.C. "Fort Fisher offers 'Living History' program.
Sunday kids and their parents can learn about the Confederate Navy and Confederate Marine Corps at the Fort Fisher Historic Site at Kure Beach.
There will be uniformed interpreters, tours, firings of the 12-pounder Napoleon cannon.
Kids will be able to paint toy soldiers and learn about military uniforms and equipment.
Okay, we missed that, but remember, Saturday Fort Fisher offers its weekly summer "Beat the Heat" lecture series inside. This Saturday's presentation "The Silent Sentinels" by John Winecoff. It is about military memorials in N.C..
