Please help the Friends of Fort Massac lobby the state of Illinois for money to repair the historic 1802 replica fort! A few dollars now to stabilize the fort will save many dollars later. Please sign this petition to help us in this effort.
Why is this important?
Fort Massac State Park, near Metropolis, IL, is Illinois first state park. Unfortunately, the most vivid and unique part of the park, the replica of an 1802 American Outpost Fort, has been closed to the public because of safety concerns. Structural flaws and premature deterioration of the palisades and fraising are the cause of these concerns. Please help the Friends of Fort Massac lobby the state of Illinois for money to repair this historic fort replica.
