The Museum’s 2020 Annual Exhibition took an in-depth look at Ft. H.G. Wright’s emplacements and armament. There is a “then and now” aspect. And the 125th anniversary is in 2025 so I’m looking for a variety of photos of all the Fort’s emplacements taken since the Fort closed.
Especially wanted: photographs taken at Pit Parties in the 1960s and 1970s.
Contact me at [email protected] if you have some possible images to share.
Thank you,
Pierce Rafferty
