Fort at No. Four is rising from oblivion!

I wouldn't allow myself to believe it until I saw it with my own eyes, but there is actually a rescue of the Fort at No. Four going on!

There is a new director who loves history, has a small business background, and understands the value of volunteers. The Fort was open last weekend for a work-party day on Saturday, and a general open house on Sunday. A nice crowd turned out.

This year the Fort will open up a few more times in preparation for reopening for real in 2011.

Read their schedule here.

If you know us, then I don't need to tell you how important #4 is to us. Wendy and I were married there in 1999. We held my Mom's funeral there in 2000. I first joined as a member of the Fort at No. Four in 1991, just shy of 20 years ago.
