All in all a very cool place. I just don't like the fact it has some issues with ADA accessibility for my mom. Sidewalks are pretty rough for a lady in a wheelchair.

I got to check them out during an interactive history weekend where they had renectors. The site director was super awesome and was willing to talk to anybody and everybody who had questions. The reenactors were on point. If you're a history buff it is absolutely worth taking the trip to see it!
