All,
Some have asked what a schedule would look like, So the schedule would possibly look like:

-Supper on your own or go up the road to Seabass
Saturday
-Revele at 8am
-Formation Full gear 8:30am

-Drill inside fort without jackets 9:30am
-Begin garrison duty on wall and at sally port 10am. Change out sentries every 30 minutes
-Music throughout the day (we have used music to change sentries in the past)
-12pm lunch/watermelon break
-1pm garrison/ sentry duty commences
-2pm if some Federals come, they go out and exchange fire with dentures on wall. We either skirmish , bring federal spies/scouts in for court martial or court martial one of our own
-3pm sentry/garrison duty ends
-4pm living history closed
-5pm fort closes
-5pm dinner in Gulf Shores, Seabass or in your own (can pack up and leave if so desire)

Now here’s where anyone who wants to can stay and provide the fort a program on your own for Sunday such as music through the day, Naval impressions or Confederate Impressions.
