If you are interested in civil war history, this stop is important, as it represents part of Grant's successful movement into the South, as a prelude to the eventual victory at Vicksburg. The park itself is small, and you can see everything worth seeing in 60-75 min, including the driving tour, a little bit of walking and sitting by the Cumberland river (this fort was taken after Ft. Henry on the Tennessee R not far away was taken. There is a driving tour which takes you out of the main park and eventually through town, and from there you can access the cemetery.
