We are so close to completing the actual fort but are in need of funds to continue. Please consider donating whatever amount you feel comfortable with, we also are in need of lumber, wood shingles, Locust Logs and much more. Our aim is to complete the palisades and chinking the block house within the next few months. With your help we can do it!
