NCPTT partnered with the Historic Preservation Training Center, the Cultural Resources Division of the Southeast Regional Office of NPS and Fort Sumter National Monument to facilitate a workshop on preserving coastal forts April 8-10 at the Fort Sumter National Monument in Fort Moultrie, S.C. The workshop used examples, illustrated presentations, and field demonstrations to stimulate discussion and identify “best practices” treatments that have the potential for broader applications to different styles and types of masonry coastal fortifications.
