    Fort Sewall is a beautiful park that has been restored to its original state. I am somewhat prejudiced on this beautiful project. Our son Erik Christensen is the Architect that managed that project. He took us there last summer to show us his project. What a beautiful setting. Wishing you good luck on the Restoration Celebration of Fort Sewall on Friday, June 17, 2022.
