The Friends of Fort Griswold cordially invite you to a festive gathering around a glowing bonfire on the grounds of Fort Griswold Battlefield, Saturday, December 9, from 11:00AM – 2:00PM. Join with neighbors and other fort enthusiasts to share a warm beverage, some tasty sweets, and roast some marshmallows over the fire. Try your hand at an old fashioned game or two and climb the 166 steps to the top of the monument for an amazing view.
