History Comes Alive at Fort McClary

Step through the gates of Fort McClary and step into the past.

Throughout the year, the historic fort comes alive with military encampments, period uniforms, fife and drum corps, living-history demonstrations, and reenactments spanning generations of American history. These photographs capture more than events—they capture the people who keep history alive.
