Great place to go powerwalking or running. The main feature is a historic museum. Various times thru the year they have war reenactment s here. There's a playground towards the back of here also. Grills for cooking out. You can also make outdoor event/party reservations at this park.
The museum is very nicely done if kind of small. The exhibits are well explained by the signage. The walking trails are fine over the paved portions but where they are not paved, they are mud holes. For some reason the signs seem to direct you to the worst of the mud. The maps at the various stops do a good job of explaining what you are looking at.
Nice little Fort, one of the many built around the Capital to protect it during the American Civil War, and great place to visit in good weather. Visited it with my Mom and the staff was friendly and the museum, while small, had a lot of artifacts. The park is open to the public. I had a friend who liked to walk it during the weekends because he lived so close to it.
This little museum and park is worth a visit! It had some interesting displays that made the soldiers in the civil war very real. The docents are friendly ascended willing to share. The mounds and cannons are interesting. A beautiful park, and it also has cookout sites and a nice playground.
Love it. Kids love the playgrounds. I good history primer for those new to Civil War lore. And us seasoned ones as well.I a way, it reminds me of Valley Forge in miniature with the gently rolling hills.Please click "Like" if you have a positive opinion of this review.Thank you.
