The park is really quite lovely, tucked away behind old 41. The interesting part is the hike up the hill to the very top from which an excellent view of the surrounding area can be had. Given that it's a battlefield park, it is amazing to see the lengths they had to go to to get the cannons up there. More

Beautiful grounds and a spiritual place due to the number of men that died here in the 1860's. Excellent museum. A walk up the montain gives you great views of the surrounding area---there are over two thousand flags flying on the grounds September 11th. More

Went to the Park, first saw the museum-free,donations accepted. Great battles listed, tons of memorabilia in a few rooms. Then went outside, took a drive up the hill, and walked to see the views, cannons, monuments,historical objects, geologic specimens,etc. Tons of trails, anywhere from less than one mile, to 12-16miles. Also offers a self-guiding auto tour. Great for all history... More
