We venture out to Emerald Isle to visit Fort Macon.
There is a nice trail from the parking lot so we take Tucson for a walk before we go to the Fort.
The Fort was built below ground level.
There are some WWII canons
And a fisherman's path
We start the tour of the Fort.
The construction is beautiful.
Lower level cannons
The Fort has 26 rooms (casements). They now recreate what was there.
The Fort is Pentagon shaped with a ditch separating its cover way and inner citadel.
It cost $463,790 to construct and used 9 million bricks, those alone would cost several million dollars today.
Looking forward to more exploration in the area.
