Great for everyone and worth the drive
This was amazing, but because of COVID i could only give it 4 stars and not 5 as some of the events were not operating. It is full of history and worth seeing either way, but I will go back when it is not limited due to the virus. The attention to detail is great, and yes, I had to ask why everything is marked with a "GR"! (It's Latin and means that it is property of King George.) While we were there, we saw several families with children of different ages, and they all seemed to be having a great time. I would recommend this to anyone of any age, and you don't have to be a history teacher to love it.

Great park for learning and enjoying the outdoors!
Went with my little dog for a beautiful afternoon. We walked through the little museum, had a nice film explaining what happened there, and then went to explore the recreated fort. It was well maintained, and the ranger there, dressed as a British army private of the period, explained all about it and answered many questions about the indigenous tribes of the area and their settlements, trading with the natives, women in the camp, etc. Very interesting piece of history that I wasn't aware of. The park is on the Little Tennessee River, and the fort is near the Cherokee capitol village named Tanasi, which also became the name of the river and the state.
