Fort Macon Tour FREE online virtual field trip

One of the most well preserved forts of the US Civil War. Tour the museum and explore the fort. Learn about the battle for the fort, the day to day life while in the fort and how the fort was used after the civil war. Fort Macon was NC's second officially designated state park.

What I like about this tour- there is an option of having the text read to you, great feature for my Kindergartener to use. Click on the green targets to learn more about that part of the exhibit.

We did some background research on Fort Macon over at http://www.ncparks.gov/fort-macon-state-park
