The Gift Shop, buy something to help support the Fort and the Park System.  I think a mouth harp was 3 bucks, just had to get one.

Ammo boxes in the powder house.   They built these in the very center of the Fort, away from all the buildings.  Makes you think they had previous problems when they were placed next to the officers quarters.   Click to read information in the powder house about artillery loads and grenades.

Wash day at the Fort.  This is where the folks teach your kids how laundry was done in the old days.  Makes them so appreciative of that weekly chore.
