Director of the Milford Marine Institute Timothy P. Chaucer, dressed in a Colonial-era uniform, gives local Cub Scouts a closer look at an 18th-century musket during a demonstration at Fort Nathan Hale, which held its opening day and flag-raising ceremony on May 18. Three different versions of a fort have been located on the site, including the first from 1659, a Revolutionary War-era fort, and a Civil War-era fort. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
