Opening Day at Fort Klock

Opening Day at Fort Klock is right around the corner—step into the past and experience history firsthand!

Try your hand at traditional candle dipping and watch as simple materials are transformed into hand-dipped candles, just as they were in the 1700s. Then, take a seat and experience the art of quill writing—dip a feather quill into ink and practice the elegant script used in colonial times.

These hands-on activities offer a unique look at everyday life in early America and are perfect for visitors of all ages.

Bring the family, explore the grounds, and celebrate the start of the season with interactive history at Fort Klock.
