Wonderful experience. My kids and their cousins like pretending that they were part of the fort. The museum was impressive with lots of information for it being smaller.The lookout looks like it needed some trimming. You couldn't really see the river very well. That's the only thing I really saw that could be improved.

Excellent historic site with plenty of things to see and learn. The museum is far superior to what was on hand 20 years ago. There were plenty of volunteers during the weekend event. Entry fees are reasonable. Make sure you stop by for a great time.
