Honest review: I didnt know what to expect. At the entrance, you see a sign and go up a wooded path uphill. I was disappointed with what I saw: a hill with a cannon on it, some stick fence and a few signs in a circle. I mean, this is historical? A big hill? I guess technically yes it is historical, but very very underwhelming. No buildings, nothing that will wow you or interest you. Maybe its good for a walk or exercise but that is about. it. Then there is a small path to an area covered with trees and a cemetery. The whole thing is a big whoppee doo of nothing. Big let down. Giving it two stars because you walk and get exercise, but as a historical site it gets 0.01 stars.

Interesting little known civil war fort hidden off the main road. The walk to the fort was up a reasonably steep hill but nothing too crazy. At the top were the remains of the earthworks along with historical signage and some cannons. Also at the top was a cool cemetery and home site which I didnt know was there. Overall the park was reasonably clean (some trash) and very informational.

Hidden piece of that Civil War. Short hike (300 yards) all paved. Slight incline, so might take a while to push a wheelchair or stroller. A couple of signs and a replica cannon are located at the top of the path.
