Folks! It’s happening! Demolition of our old bakery has begun! Fort Ward Hall... here we come! With the dust settled, we had achieved our first goal – restoring the bakery’s 1,100-square-foot main hall to its original rectangle. For the first time, we could look across the room and actually see the whole room – someday soon the site of classes, parties, Scouting events, and all the other great, family-friendly activities for which our island’s historic halls play host. Right here in Fort Ward! The imagination soars. Read more at www.fortwardhall.org

Thank you for your interest!
