Tour of Fort Mifflin with USCT Reenactors

I took a tour of Fort Mifflin on April 5th, to understand a military base in reality. I was invited by CROHL, and Camp William Penn. I was able to learn soo much about the troops in the Revelutionary War as well as see Colored Troops (Civil War/Union Soldiers) in full uniform. Fredrick Douglass and Robert Smalls, African American abolitionist/activist, stopped by to review the soldiers. The cannon launch made my stumach tremble. We were instructed to open our mouths and close our ears before the cannon was fired. The artifacts and remaining archtecture, structures were a photographers dream. You must take your family there when you visit Philadelphia to see how we kept the Deleware fort from the Brittish with rows of cannons.
