In April,
Kip, Michele and Ed
visited historic Fort Dobbs, NC
to watch the reenactment of a
skirmish from the 1700s.
Fort Dobbs website
Fort Dobbs is located in
Statesville, NC.
The armed combat techniques used by the English actors were surprisingly similar to
the Army techniques Kip was taught prior to his deployment to the Middle East.
In addition to reenactment of the skirmish that took place at Fort Dobbs,
there were also many people in period costumes demonstrating what
life was like in North Carolina in the 18th Century.
Ed watches a demonstration of how the indians detained prisoners.
The Fort has a small gift shop and a charming nature trail.
The Fort is a nice place to visit and would be a great place for a class field trip.
