Fort tours start in the theatre on the hour from 10 am – 4 pm. Regular admission for entry inside the fort (Adult $12.50, Child $8.15), separate admission for the Saturday Night Lantern Tour.

Battle reenactments, Merchants, Military Encampments…and one very big explosion (during the night battle) as the powder store is hit and the Fort explodes (historically, this Fort was destroyed multiple times – twice by nature, twice by Military)!
