Civil War action on coast
The 174th anniversary of the Battle of Fort Fisher - the largest land-sea battle of the Civil War - will be marked at Fort Fisher, on the coast 20 miles south of Wilmington. The capture of the fort by federal soldiers forced the fall of the Confederacy's last major port in January 1865. Re-enactors in period costume will bring history to life throughout the day with Confederate artillery demonstrations, cannon and small arms firings. (Bring ear plugs.) Hours for the free program: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Jan. 21, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Jan 22. Details: 910-458-5538; www.fortfisher.nchistoricsites.org.
