The blacksmith shop was closed, I'm guessing when they open up the other areas with staff it is probably nice for kids, we basically just saw the fort. Inexpensive and quick stop if your just looking to have a stop on the way to DC.

Very nice park! Make sure you go into the museum in the visitors center too. There’s also a nature trail by the beaver pond. I only would suggest more signage on the area to provide more information.

Absolutely gorgeous and well maintained park. I was looking forward to checking out the Civilian Conservation Corps museum, but it was closed when we were there.

Exceptional Fort & Park Rangers. Management was superb. Nice place .

Interesting fort and beautifully kept grounds. Park Ranger was very knowledgeable about the local history. Small museum with some interesting displays in the visitor's center. Visitor's center is always open even if the buildings inside the fort are not. Fort gate was open for our visit but buildings were closed.
