What's Going On At the Fort, Fort Fisher's Beat the Heat Series: Timothy O'Sullivan's Photographs
In February 1865, photographer Timothy O'Sullivan visited Fort Fisher to record the massive fortification. He created a photographic record of the fort and remnants of the two battles that took place there.
Local photographer Harry Taylor will be discussing Timothy O'Sullivan and the wet plate process of photography.
The presentation is free and open to the public but seating is limited so please call the facility and reserve a seat. The presentation begins promptly at 2 p.m. in the fort's Spencer Theater. This programming is made possible by the Friends of Fort Fisher and the nearby towns of Kure Beach and Carolina Beach.
