From the July 10, 2021, WWAY (Wilmington, N.C.) 3 ABC by Celeste Smith.
Really good news to me. Every summer Fort Fisher has all sorts of programs both outside and inside detailing the fort's history, including its popular "Beat the Heat" lectures. Of course, that all came crashing to an end last year because of you-know-what. Sure nice to have things back.
The Fort Fisher State Historic Site hosted its first program after an 18-month-long hiatus.
Today (Saturday, July 100, the annual Summer Artillery Program's "Most Terrible Storm of Iron and Lead" was held at the site from 10am to 4 pm.
The free event featured guided tours, an activity for kids called the "Toy Soldier Workshop," and cannon firings throughout the day. The site's program manager, Becky Sawyer, said they are glad to offer programs to visitors again.
The site will host its next program which will focus on the events of World War II revolving around the fort and Wilmington area the Saturday of Labor Day weekend in September.
Sure Glad to see the Old Fort Back to Usual. --Old B-Runner
