The FHC did another great thing today by sponsoring the 2nd Annual Fort Hill Cemetery Memorial Day Observance. We had a great turnout for the ceremony at the cemetery including Councilman Lonnie Miley and several FHC members. Over one hundred visitors came by the Blockhouse Replica during the afternoon to pay their patriotic respects and to thank us for being open. My above attached text points out the historical reasons we need to do such patriotic public programs to honor Fort Hawkins and I hope you will enjoy it. You will discover some amazing history in these few words and a poignant reminder of why we do what we do for Fort Hawkins and its historic neighborhood. |
