Cape Fear History Symposium-- Part 2: "Focus On Forts"
Participants will hear from the nation's leading experts on U.S. Coast defense history through a series of lectures and seminars and witness a live artillery demonstration (always better than a dead one, I think. Just like I enjoy live bands better than dead ones.) and tour the campus (Fort Caswell) with experts. Fort Caswell is usually off limits to visitors as it is part of a religious group.
You will get up close to relics and ruins as you learn about them.
Speakers include John Weaver, Lt.Col. Quentin W. Schillare, Glen Williford, Dale Floyd as well as Vincent Melomo and Tom Beaman on the archaeology of Fort Caswell.
