Fort Fisher in the News

Of all the Civil War sites, none is more important to me than Fort Fisher, NC. This is where I got interested in the Civil War and, from there, history in general.

1. Carolina Beach Today Blog has recently featured an aeriel view of the remains of the fort and period photos as well as a short history of it.

Also, a good site when you get those beach yearnings.


2. The Visit North Carolina site reports that if you want to see the cannons of Fort Fisher fired, you'd better get there soon as the guns go silent September 9th. Right now, you will see folks in period attire doing the duty.
