Our beach getaway with our church ended Thursday morning. Before we left, though, Meg and I wanted to explore the old Fort Caswell Buildings. It was pretty wild. It wasn’t exactly deserted, but this was the only plaque of any kind that we found while we were checking it out. Other than that we really had no idea what we were looking out or when it was built. The fort was actually first built in 1826, and then used during the Civil War, Spanish-American War, WW I & WWII, and there were changes made all along. I actually bought a book that tells about it, but haven’t really had time to check it out yet, which I’m looking forward to doing.
I can’t wait to see when this lovely brickwork was installed. We had just walked down a tunnel just like this, but when it turned the corner and went further in, we decided to turn around and go back. We had already heard a critter of some kind in another building we walked past – we didn’t go in to see what kind it was – and weren’t sure what we’d encounter if we kept going. We’ll leave that for another day.
