Our Field Trip to Fort Dobbs | April 2017
We went to Fort Dobbs on a cold windy morning in April. Dustin had family roots that are traced back to there. It was cool to visit the different booths there. Some where even hands on. Sorry for the bad quality...the wind makes some parts of the video hard to hear but we kept them in anyway.
