Veterans Day at Fort D

  • Fort D Historic Site 920 Fort Street Cape Girardeau, MO, 63703 United States (map)

The local re-enactors at Fort D salute all the men and women who have served to protect America, home of the free and the brave! Come by the fort as these re-enactors will be busy preparing for the winter as they demonstrate rifle and cannon fire and Dutch oven cooking.

The renovation and interpretation of Fort D is a special project of the 1st Missouri Engineers, a unit of the Turner Brigade, which is a group of Missouri Union volunteers and civilians of the Civil War period. Their commissioned and non-commissioned officers have many years' experience in reenacting and provide a wealth of information about the time period to visitors.
