The Barracks of Ft. Wilkins form a horseshoe and face Lake

  The Flagpole and canon next to the shores of Lake Fanny Hooe create a mystique of a wilderness fort as Ft. Wilkins indeed was.

Lake Fanny Hooe is deep, cold, and waiting for a fisherman.   Apart from the barracks are many different buildings that the soldiers used for different activities.

More buildings that beg to be visited and inviting imagination. The re-enactments at the Fort help put people and chores to the buildings.   Beautiful Lake Fanny Hooe always reflecting the opposite shoreline.
