This Saturday is Fort Stevens Day, a celebration of the 146th anniversary of the only Civil War battle to occur in DC.  Always needed an excuse to check out the Civil War Defenses of Washington?  Now’s your chance!

Saturday’s event includes a kids’ activity tent, various historical presentations, and a Civil War heavy artillery demonstration.  Check out the full schedule and directions to the park, and keep in mind that rain cancels the event.

    Is it just me or is that Park Service link sending everyone to a “Page Under Construction” site? I can’t stand the Park Service’s website!They are always incomplete and what little info is on them tends to be out-of-date and unhelpful.
