fort michell national historic site

fort mitchells national historic site was awsome! i liked everything they had on display and i would definetly suggest that everyone visits at least once!

This is one of the few forts that have been practically fully reconstructed! There are some places you can walk, a nice little museum and 20 min film. Reconstruction of carriages, taverns, trading post houses, and a fort tower you can go in. I also heard that they do smith working every now and then to show how its done. if your near the area, its something to go see and spend the day at!

They have a nice museum, old homes, cemetery, horses, and exhibits. I would recommend going here to explore what the area used to be.

My friend and I were delighted to see the recent expansion of this park. They have added a small museum, welcome center, and living history section complete with a replica of a small encampment. We thoroughly enjoyed the nature, friendly cats at the camp, and walking areas. I will say that the Native American monument is in need of a trim and touch-up landscape. Overall we enjoyed the massive Magnolia tree that should not be missed and the very interesting artifacts on display inside the museum. A definite don't miss for the whole family

Little out of the way. Not too much to see but worth going to support what they are doing.

Very interested in local southern history, my husband & I took this short trip to Fort Mitchell expecting only to find a monument to Indian History. Pleasantly surprised, we found much more. Upon entering the site, we stopped at The Visitor's Center which houses a museum featuring "walk through time" displays depicting lifelike historical scenes, artifacts and a short film presentation about the history of Fort Mitchell between 1813 and 1860. The most enjoyable part of the Visitor's Center was meeting the center's "counter" employee named Imagene. She was very well educated on the local history and extremely warm and inviting. We felt very welcome to spend as much time as we wanted. Also in the museum was a display of horse drawn carriages of the 1800's. On the grounds we toured, (self-guided) The Crowell-Whitaker Cabin, circa 1840, the replica of the fort complete with block houses and blacksmith shop, cemetary, monument to The Trail of Tears, and Sacred Fire Monument. We were told that there are plans to add more displays and buildings in the near future to include: tavern, hospital and carriage house.
