Fort D's 150th Anniversary

We took a few moments out of our day, and drove over to Cape Girardeau and visited Fort D for their big weekend!  I am sorry for those of you that missed it; we loved it!  My kids are always fascinated by the "army mens" and the "ladies in big dresses" I am always fascinated in the history of our great area and the people who work hard to preserve it!


Here are a few photos of the event, you can see more of them at this link!


You can also learn more about Fort D at their website Fort D's Website Link 

Have a great day, it's a HOT one!
