This site is a very cool thing to go experience if you have the time to go. if you have a few hours to kill off and you love history, please stop in this Historic Fort and see what it has to offer. It's a cool place which backs to the river. The depictions of how the Fort looked are incredible and gives you a sense of how it really was. The tour inside is self guided and very informative. It will take you on a great journey through history and the way it was. the nature trail is fun and informative as well. It is a National Park so a fee is included to see it all but it's so worth it.
