Very cool. Short walking trail that winds through the fort. Old hospital and blacksmith labeled by signs. Very neat.

My husband and I enjoyed this stop bit our kids were less impressed. They wanted to go inside everything, which, of course, we did not let them do due to a host of safety concerns (snakes, building age, cacti, etc.). They did enjoy seeing the canon and the remains of the covered wagons.

An amazing place to visit to learn about the history of the Gettysburg. I thoroughly enjoyed going to this place and learning more about the history.

Metal detecting is prohibited as posted. Metal detecting has been allowed at Fort Mason though. You might want to contact the people in charge of that historic site to see if it is possible.
