Peter and Cathy reach a milestone in their journey to recreate history. In this episode they place the final logs in the blockhouse walls in their traditional 1700s frontier fort, aptly named Kelly Station. This episode is not just a demonstration of building techniques but a testament to their dedication and passion for bringing the past to life.

As the walls of Kelly Station now stand tall, Peter takes a moment to share the vision for the next phase: designing and building the roof. While embarking on this new challenge, Peter also begins the installation of the blockhouse stairs.

This episode promises not only to showcase the physical building of a historical structure but also to provide a deep dive into the motivations, struggles, and consequences of early American colonization. It's a journey through time, reflecting on the past to understand the present better.
