A family affair

A popular stop for visiting tourists and local history fanatics, Fort Randolph provides not only a conversation starter about Chief Cornstalk for the adults, but a fantasy come true for children who are masters of building forts in their living rooms. As previously reported, Fort Randolph will now be opening from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, as well as other special events. The next specially planned event will be the Land Grabbers and Longhunters on Aug. 4.
