Hours
The Old Fort is located on public park grounds. You can always wander around the grounds. However, the buildings are only open during events. There is a brochure available at the front gate with information about the history of the Old Fort. It explains how each building would have been used. Check here for a list of upcoming events. You can also view our Virtual Tour to learn more about the use of the grounds.
During the Summer the Fort will be open Tues. – Sat. from 10 – 6 and Sundays from noon – 6, with tours available.
