Historic Fort Self-Guided Tour

There's so much to see and explore inside the historic fort. You never know what you may find!

National Park Service

A self-guided tour guide can be found inside the park brochure.

A more-depth version, of the fort facilities, can be provided upon arrival by a park ranger at either the visitor center or fort entrance. This tour booklet will bring you through the various structures of the fort and explain their uses as well as many details about daily-life at this wilderness outpost. 

Don't forget to have some fun along the way! This tour program works well with the park's Junior Ranger Activity Book.
