Justin SlaughterThe story around the fort I had never heard. Fascinating site with mix of Native American and Revolutionary War history.

Brian Kelly (juggernautical)I enjoyed visiting this unique piece of history. There are historical signs that give both the history of the Native American mound as well as the significance of the mound during the American Revolution. There are also trails to walk. I also stopped by the visitor center that has lots of information about the nature reserve that is part of the grounds.

Dustin Holland (Dustin n Jasa)If you enjoy the outdoors and history this is a great spot. Nothing too exciting but there is a staircase that takes you to the top of the mound. There you will find more history plaques and a nice view.

Mark GeorgeNice diversion. Visitor center small but very clean with some well-done exhibits. Indian mound smaller than I expected and not much else around it. A partial recreation of the village would be interesting, I think.
