Get an ice cream cone across the street and enjoy a stroll thru history, beautiful flowers and along the river. A variety of flowers are always in bloom and you'll meet many other people enjoying a walk on any evening.

We almost felt guilty as it was only just over $3 to get in. The staff are so pleased to teach you all about the history of this fort and how life was back in the 1800's Everyone is in costume and living as they would have back then. Great place to visit.
