Fort Fisher North Carolina State Historical site is host a "Load, Ready, Fire" exhibition at the fort today. Costumed staff and volunteers will be giving guided tours of the fort's remains today.
Also, a 12-pounder Napoleon cannon will be fired twice. Staff warn that the firings are quite loud. Imagine that.
Children will have the opportunity to experience soldier life and artillery firing.
The site is open seven days a week from April to September. After that, it is open Tuesday through Saturday.
