A ribbon-cutting in observance of the new roof on the American Legion building at the Fort D historical site in Cape Girardeau is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. today.
Fort D is located at 920 Fort St. on Cape Girardeau’s south side. The site is Missouri’s only surviving “V-shaped” Civil War-era earthworks fort and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.
The ribbon-cutting is being hosted by the Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department and the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce.
Masks are required and social distancing will be encouraged.
