Area is so rich in Revolutionary history. Area attractions are well marked. Park service personal extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely coming back in the summer. Plan to camp and make multiple day trips to see things we missed today.

It's important to read up on the misconceptions regarding this landmark (in that it was likely only used for food crop storage prior to the Civil War, and that Cornwallis likely used Nelson House to seek refuge which would explain all the interesting "character" the house has acquired from that time period.) The notches in the cave exterior is the result of it being used for military purposes in which it was fortified for the Confederates. Still an interesting landmark in spite of the misnomer.
