Fort Knox Park Day Cleanup Scheduled For Saturday The 23rd

On Saturday, April 23rd, volunteers will spruce up historic Fort Knox and the grounds that surround it, getting the area ready for thousands of visitors once again this spring, summer and fall!

You can help out too!

Volunteers consist of regular folk, just like you, and are needed to sweep, rake and get the place all dolled up for opening day, which is May 1st!  Although the Fort will be open during April school vacation week.

From a recent press release, "Helpers are asked to bring rakes, shovels, wheel barrels, leaf blowers, tarps and work gloves. Participants should plan on arriving at 10 AM and helping to noontime. For more information about Park Day at Fort Knox, please call 469-6553 or email FOFK1@aol.com."

Volunteers will get a beautiful new t-shirt and an opportunity to learn all about Fort Knox from the folks that keep an eye on it!

Fort Knox is owned by the people of Maine, managed by the Friends of Fort Knox under a lease with the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands.

Happy Spring cleaning!
