A Word From the Executive Director/CEO, Paul Laird

Now, more than ever, Fort Fisher Battlefield and State Historic Site needs your personal involvement. Funding for North Carolina's owned and operated two dozen historic sites has seen steady reductions of more than 25 percent in recent years as the General Assembly balances the state budget.

In early 2017, please let Governor Roy Cooper and your state legislators know that you want your state historic sites not only kept open for all to enjoy and learn from but ask them to increase funding to these multi-billion dollar revenue generators spread across North Carolina. Don't wait for sites to be closed, revenue lost, jobs eliminated and important educational resources lost to our teachers and students. If you need to know who your legislators are and how to contact them call or email me and I'll provide you their points of contact.

You can also help by joining the Friends of Fort Fisher and adding your voice to that of other supporters who value our heritage and historic sites. There are so many ways to become involved with The Friends of Fort Fisher, including a variety of volunteer opportunities.  Please see our contact information to become a member today!  Please support our State Historic Sites!
