The large building you see looming behind the Fort is our Opera House. The Opera House is not part of the museum tour but is used for a variety of public and private functions. We have hosted numerous class reunions, company picnics, wedding receptions, and even a visit from the Vice President of the United States! If you are interested in reserving the Opera House for your event, feel free to ask the museum staff for information.
