Good for kids
Wheelchair-accessible entrance
I expected only a few stone chimneys and nothing more. There are also a few complete buildings and some old signs that named the remaining structures. By walking the pathways you see how large this Fort once was. There are restrooms at the parking area. I do hope the old signs are renewed or replaced as they are showing their age and the effects of the sun and weather. Maybe an Eagle Scout will take it on as a project.

History still standing. 170 year old Army fort from the frontier days. Pre-dates the railroad in this area. Great way to explore at your own pace and take in the past.
We visited on a warm, clear winter afternoon and had the place pretty much to ourselves. The ruins are free of charge, open sunrise to sunset. A brochure is available in the pavilion beside the parking lot that leads you though a self-guided tour. Restrooms are in the pavilion. Grounds are rustic but paths are well kept. Pets on leashes welcome. A wheelchair could probably navigate the area. Great family outing with a history emphasis. Would definitely go again.
Wow! This place is definitely somewhere you wanna check out if you're a history buff! Loved it!
If you love history, then you will love this small rest area. While only consisting of an building and the remnants of few others, it is still an fantastic stop. Walk around in breath in the past. Just watch out for rattlesnakes lol. Also has clean restrooms and an nice pamphlet/map showcasing how the fort look like back in the the 1800s
