Reviews of Fort Dobbs State Historic Site
"This is a wonderful, free* historical site just north of Statesville, NC. The fort is a recreation of the original but is very well done. There are many signs around, explaining different aspects of the fort and it’s history. There is a playground and bathrooms, both located in the parking area. (During events, additional parking is located in a designated field across the street.) They have many free historical reenactments throughout the year. They are educational and family friendly. The grounds are very well maintained and mostly handicapped accessible, except that the paved walkway goes through the fort, and not around it. * It costs $2 to take a guided tour of the fort."
"This is a very neat place to learn about our country’s history during the French and Indian War. The weekend we went was during a reenactment and the folks were clearly very passionate about what they do. It was enjoyable to be part of it and we learned some things, as well. Cost of admission is free but we did give a small donation (donation box is in the gift shop)."
"Very interesting site. Definitely worth stopping if you are driving by or in the area. I wouldn’t recommend driving more than an hour to see. It is very small and not a whole lot to see or do but the guide was friendly, informative and the price was right! There was a nice walking path, leaves were beautiful, washrooms were clean."
"This is a really, really cool place. The tour guides are awesome and you can tell they really love their jobs. You feel like you're stepping into a time machine almost. The history is fascinating, even for kids. The grounds are gorgeous also. Definitely worth a stop."
"Tour guides are very knowledgeable. Amazing reproduction of the fort. It gives you a good idea what life was like while living there. The price of the tour is only $2 per person."
