Really liked touring the Fort. All the docents that worked there were very friendly and knew the history of the Fort well. There were a great deal of artifacts to view and the restorations were excellent and thought provoking.

Very friendly, knowledgeable folks. They have one of the finest period correct firearms collections I've ever seen. This is a "Must See" attraction if you are in the area, particularly during peak wildflower season.

Camped here with our Trail Life USA troop. It was amazing. They let us sleep in the enlisted man's barracks, gave us a fantastic tour of the museum and fort, and even a cannon firing demo. Thanks for a great experience!
