Beautiful, Ancient Indian Serpant Site.

Historical stop. Remnants of the earthen fort still remain. Good place to revisit a historic moment.

Not much there. Building is completely closed off for renovations, with only a few signs. Hopefully the work they are doing will make it worth while to visit.

Went here by mistake (we were looking for Fort Defiance) and it was undergoing some renovations. This is a small park located right in town. We werent able to enter the fort building due to the work being done, but there were several plaques to read with history of the area, and the locals we met there were very friendly.

Not much of a fort, not much to see.

Historic Civil War site. We never knew the rich history in Cape Girardeau.

Not much there, but the signs were very descriptive.

Wasn’t open during hours that was posted. Nothing on website to instruct visitors of such.

Overall this was a good experience. My friend and I enjoyed reading through the history. It was a little underwhelming in the sense that you couldn’t go inside the fort, but that’s okay. If you aren’t into history, I wouldn’t recommend this place to visit. However, if you are into history, particularly civil war history, it’s definitely worth a stop!

Very small but super interesting signs and seeing a fort from the Civil War that looks like a castle is incredibly unique. View of the Mississippi River and beautiful bridge.

It was awesome.

I honestly thought there would be more to the park as far as information, but what was there was good.

Nice historical fort, but very small and not really a lot to see

Pretty run down. Probably was a good place to visit in years gone by

Not much here, but great views of the river, and of course the Fort is a great part of our history, and would love to go inside, but wasnt open when I was there.

Not much to see but the plaques had quite a lot of information if you like history. Nice view of the river and the Cape bridge.

It was historic but it wasnt really much

It was just Cold.... But if u can go when there is an Event it b good!!

Its a small historic site but has events. It is best to go during an event as they do living history and have speakers.

I love war history

Not much to it. Kinda sad how its been kept, when you look inside the fort there are folding chairs and tables just sitting in plain view being stored there. Info on the signs was informative but incomplete.

Well kept fort. A must visit for any history buff, particularly Civil War buffs. If youre in the area I definitely recommend a visit.

It has history, just not much to look at.

Grow up around there great historical site I agree they should open it up and have guided tours than it would b awesome and raise the community up

Pretty pitiful, and not well looked after. Nasty old fold up table rusting inside.

Not a lot to see really but still its really cool

Interesting to see this here out by itself. I think that they could more to presreve it & make it more of a place to go.

The history behind this sight is really neat. Only go during daylight hours.

Awesome was really interesting

Amazing place to take photos

Special part of our American history .

Historic. Sadly the locals trash it. (Probably because of the part of town its in) maybe gate it off.

Part of our national history played out here. Fortunate to have it preserved.

Historical

Verry educate

Not much here. We drove from Paducah Ky to see it. It is not in a very good area and has no parking. We were very disappointed.

Dont plan a trip here. There isnt much to see at Fort D. Five minutes, and done. If you are in Cape swing by.

A nice roadside distraction.

It is a very interesting place, but the building and grounds are not well maintained.

The historical building

Alot of history here.

Cool place to visit

Tiny

Awesome place

Amazing

I wish theyd clean it up and unlock the doors so people could actually explore it.

History

Nice

Nobody around anywhere

Still stranding.

I like history

Lot of history that can be read.

Cool

Is not worth while

Old stopping grounds

Good place for history buffs

Nice to see

Worth a quick stop for civil war buffs.

Could be maintained much better.

Historic location

Well kept little Civil War era memorial!
