- JJJamesOct 25, 20255.0My son and I went today for the 250th anniversary! We got to see history come to life! Hard to describe how fun it is to see reinactnentments of our country and the true perspective of life back in 1770s. History is beautiful. The fort is in great condition and all the demonstrations we saw, the stories we took part in were great! Live animals too! Grounds are beautiful and well kept. There is an elevator in the newest exhibit as well for handicap access 🤘 There is a cafe and restaurant on site! Thank god! And the food was really good! I got the mount defiance. A turkey club but in a full sandwich. Perfect. The raspberry lemonade is also, excellent. My son got a root beer float! Good service and fun views.
- RPRobert PenfieldOct 24, 20253.0Fantastic fort,wonderful view, super clean and so many historical artifacts! Couple of the employees were super nice except a cranky little old lady on the second floor was very rude!!! Not going to let one bad apple ruined my visit, she needs to retire!!!
- SRSmelling the RosesOct 22, 20255.0We enjoyed our visit to this fort. It was quite a trek around the place. They had a reenactment of loading the cannons and shooting it off twice. I wasn't expecting that in the middle of October. A small giftshop and restaurant was on-site as well. Pretty expensive and wouldn't reduce price for veteran, unless you were from their state...not right.
- MGMax GalloOct 14, 20255.0A beautiful drive into the fort and a stunning view of the lake and mountains from the fort! The fort is well-preserved and is reminiscent of a fortress you'd tour in Europe, and the museum is Smithsonian quality. You can tell how much work and funding has gone into making the Fort worth a visit. If you are interested in history, or just like pretty views, definitely go!
- LMLandon Ashby (pure mahem)Oct 14, 20255.0I had a Great Time here. Not everywhere was accessible with my powerchair but I definitely did not feel like I was missing out on anything. Huge Gift Shop. Just about everything on open ground level is packed gravel. My powerchair did not have any difficulty with it. There are a few raised stone areas in the Fort tunnel entrance that could be a potential trouble spot for some. Assistance is readily available if not by the staff, fellow travelers were always offering. I had one offer to push me up the final go at Mt. Defiance!
