The map is difficult to follow. The bridge is worn. I would like to see information at each trail marker

I was very disappointed after detouring off my route to see this famous historic site. The directions to get to the visitor centerwere not very helpful, and the visitor center was nothing more than a hornet infested kiosk. All the pamphlets were gone, so we ended up going the wrong way when trying to follow the trail around the stockade.

As a historian, I love the place and the history of it. I do believe there is so much potential for this location. More plaques, information, monuments, and publications is needed.I have been there many times, but it needs to be maintained more. I have offered to help many times. I enjoy giving people tours of the location and telling people the historical part of this location.

So much lost potential. Many fallen trees to contend with. I assume from hurricane Matthew last year. There were no maps or brochures available. The tails are not marked well enough to be able to follow without a map. Stations along the trails are numbered, but again, without a brochure or something to reference they only become objects to find amongst an overgrown area.I drove 1.5 hours with my children for them to experience a part of American history. The stockade itself was not what we had hoped for, but we did get some exercise and spend time with each other.The stockades are located behind Florence National Cemetery. These grounds were used by the stockade as well. This is a relatively small cemetery. I stopped here with my children. Rather than simply hear about fallen heroes on the news, read about it in a book, or hear about it in a one-line statement. We were able to walk amongst them and visit with a fellow Marine while we were there. I believe it was impactful to them.
