Down in the dungeon at Fort Gross Friedrichburg. Once a storage for slaves, now a home to several bats.

Very enlightening pictures and commentary
Thoroughly enjoyed your text comments and pics! I'm planning a group trip from Fredericksburg, VA, to Princes Town, Ghana in the fall (of '09). This is our "sister city" now, and you might say it is a humanitarian trip since we've sent many needed things to the village of Princes Town, near the old fort you mentioned. If you have any more "insight" you think I might find useful, please do let me know. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Sydney Chichester, former middle school teacher in VA
