There is a small inaccuracy in this video. The host confuses Zebulon Montgomery Pike (the officer and explorer of Western rivers) with his father - also Zebulon Pike who was the commandant of Fort Massac at the time of the interaction with Spanish ships. It is an easy mistake to make.
The fort will be open in 2019, barring any floods from the Ohio River. I was at the Encampment in 2018 for the first time. A lot to see and do! Check it out!
Excellent video

You never get tired of going back year after year during the Encampment.
the fort is never open now
