Removal of weeds, plants, and detritus from the site and nature area. If it can be secured, painting historic buildings.
History or Educational Activities
We will offer several tours through the day for various shifts or teams to go about the Fort. We will also fire the cannon and muskets.
Should I bring any tools or supplies?
Please bring work clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Gloves. If anyone has waders and is willing to go into the moat it would be appreciated but certainly not necessary. Weed whackers would also be appreciated.

It can get very buggy in the spring so bring bug spray and sun screen.
