Talk to the Park Rangers, these guys take their jobs seriously and seemed to really enjoy interacting with our boys. They lined them up and taught them how to salute, march, handle a (wooden) rifle. The people at the park were very informative and we had a blast playing the games set up.

Bring water and a hat. Need to spend at least a half a day to walk the fort.
