Fort Stanwix (134/365a)

Growing up going to Rome quite frequently and driving past Fort Stanwix every time and I never went. We decided to take the kids on a day that it was "rainy" and "not a weekend" ... so of course, here we are, on a Sunday with great weather. :)

My favorite thing was that we happened to be there as there were reenactors there - they had been there all weekend and were packing up. They were interesting to talk to - they make their uniforms themselves, and hire craftsmen to make recreations of things in the old fashioned way. The kids liked watching the canon being fired.
