Absolutely free... you can explore the old fort, the museum, and even climb to the top of the tower

Went here for the Sky's the Limit 2022 hiking challenge. I expected it to be a quick in and out and moving on to the next one that's close by because I'm not a big history junkie. BUT it was super cool. When we got there the tower was closed, and I thought for the season since it's after labor day, but I still got great picks. Across the street where the rest of it is, is really cool! A secret tunnel to go into to get to the trenches and wind through to get to the bottom. The area where the cannons were originally set up was cool to walk around and the view of the river was beautiful. And when we got back to the tower it was open and we were able to climb to the top. And what a climb, the space was tight and it felt like forever, but a great work out. There a cell phone your you can do, with signs posted everywhere with the number to call and different posts to dial in for the information to be read to you. I expected to be there for half an hour and breeze through, but we were there over an hour. Only reason I have it only 4 ⭐ is because there isn't a parking lot, street parking and it's in a very suburban area and most people were parking on side streets in front of people's houses.
