A
Soldiers' Barracks
The Soldiers' Barracks gives you an idea of how the common soldier lived in the 1820s (lousy food, too much drink). The Guard House from 1828 indicates more of the day-to-day hardships, but the conditions for those held in cells were truly nasty. Threaten your kids. Check out the concerts and storytelling performed here in July and August.
The lower section of the barracks is now used as artisan studios, and the College of Craft & Design, behind the Justice Building, presents the work of local artists.

Officers' Square
At Officers' Square, once the military parade ground, see the full-uniform changing of the guard ceremony mornings and evenings weekdays from mid-July to the third week in August. Also in summer the Outdoor Summer Theatre performs daily. The free historical skits are laced with humor. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, free band concerts attract crowds.
