This is a picture of the exterior of Fort Macon, located on the NC coast. Brickwork fort built in the 1820-30s. Robert E. Lee even had a hand in it. We were down that way on vacation in Oct. '10. How'd you like to touch off that gun!

There are some reenactment groups that do living history programs in the fort. I'd like to get a chance to do one. I've done some at Fort Fisher, in NC, but it was an earthworks fort and a lot of it is gone now, taken by the ocean.

There was a WW2 group at one of the last events I went to watch. There are some pics from 2009 at this site: www.allisonwoodslivinghistory.org/
