I love that tour, you hear more stories about the place every time you go on the tour! 😊

So true! What a fun and informative tour and it is free with park admission.

When I was in the Navy, I was living in a barracks next to the fort. It was landlocked at the time. This was 1978, just after Howard England's sand hogs has finished their initial excavations, and just before he was assigned as park ranger. It was possible to climb over the wall and explore, and I did on a number of occasions. If memory serves, those cannons were lined up out in the open courtyard. The cannons in the wall were exposed. I don't remember any of the living spaces being accessible (latrines, etc), so seeing them in your video was all new to me. Otherwise, it doesn't look like the fort has changed all that much. I enjoyed my days on the island and had my honeymoon there. Great video!
