Brigadier General Inspects the Fortifications at Kelly Station | Fronteir Fort Build

In this week's video, we provide an exciting update on the progress at Kelly Station. The chimney construction has begun, with the firebox completed and the first layer of the floor installed. The barn doors and a workbench are being set up to enhance the functionality of the gun-building shop. Additionally, we've made significant strides in completing the Palisade walls, with only 60 feet remaining out of the initial 4,400 feet. The redoubt is halfway finished, and we're aiming to complete it soon.

Later in the video, we welcome Tom Forier, the Brigadier General of the British North American troops for the War of 1812. Tom inspects the fortifications and discusses the ongoing efforts to prepare the Powder Magazine and blockhouse for defense. We explore the historical significance of these structures and Tom's role in organizing reenactments and educational events. After the tour, they settle into the Cedar Hollow Tavern to enjoy an ale (or two) and discuss their hobby of reenacting and ideas for recruiting more young people.
