Bausher Fort

I accompanied Tommy's class on another field trip last week.  For this one, we went to a fort.  The trip started with a talk by the three first grade teachers, one of whom made it clear that the history of this fort ("either 250 years old, or older" and "either built by the Portuguese, or not") was murky.  I was unimpressed at the time, but just spent a couple of minutes on google trying to figure out who built the fort, and when, and was unsuccessful.  History aside, it was a very fun field trip and my group of four students was charming and very well-behaved.  (I consider myself lucky that we did not stumble upon the carcass of a dog and never get to see the fort, as another group did.)
