Reviews
"If you are a hiker or walker this would be a level 1 to level 2. I personally stepped away from the outside trails due to a delay in the last 2 months. I tried to try an easy trail. With the heat, this hit the spot as the trail is woody and therefore alot of trees are around you making the temperature rather cooler than the outside. It was > 100 outside but a cool 85 when in the path which can be anywhere from 1 to 5 miles on the one side all the way up to 10 on the other. I was so glad that during the holiday weekend it was so peaceful and calm. Only complaint: Lack of parking (get there early) and trail makers. Sometimes I had to use my phone as a back because the trails are unmarked. Please note the trails are not cement so it would not be best during rainy or snowy weather."
"Fun times for both history buffs and not. There was a historical reenactment when we visited where they demonstrated how the muskets were fired. The talk was interesting and the speakers were very knowledgeable. For non history buffs, you can explore the park grounds and walk the trails."
"There is something special walking in the footprints of giants. Walking around a brisk December afternoon it is easy to imagine General Washington rallying his troops to the first major victory over British regulars. Thousands of soldiers striding across the frozen fields. The roar of cannons and thunder of hoof beats and musket fire. The now quiet landscape where the history of our nation was changed."
"A great place to stop by in the area if you’re looking to get a bit of a history lesson. It was very relaxing and open, there was nobody there when we visited. There is no pavement to walk up to the house, so wear sneakers. It could have used some seating too, as there were no benches to be found outside. It’s wide open and a great place to enjoy the peace of nature."
