From the November 27, 2021, Wilmington (NC) Star-News Join Brunswick Civil War Round Table, discuss the Fort Caswell You've Never Seen" by Cheryl M. Whitaker.

"The Fort Caswell You've Never Seen" will be the topic for the Tuesday, December 7 meeting of the Brunswick  Civil War Round Table.  Local historian and site manager at Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site, Jim McKee will speak at the program which begins at 7 pm at Hatch Auditorium on Caswell Beach on the grounds of the North Carolina Baptist Assembly.

Everyone is welcome to attend.  Registration begins at  6:15 pm.  The visitor fee is $10, which can include a spouse, and could be applied toward the $25  annual membership dues.

What exists at the fort today is very different from the 19th century Fort Caswell.  McKee's unique presentation will how it as it was  during and immediately after the Civil War through rare photographs and  archival drawings, things that you can't see today during the infrequent tours given at the site.
