It was very nice. Things were well kept. The only things that were less than, was a misspelling on one of the entries & one display made of glass panels had plastic coating on it that was peeling. We had a pleasant walk around the fort area. We enjoyed all the bunkhouses. The obelisk was an unexpected feature. I grew up near Erie,PA & had often heard of Commodore Perry. I hadnt realized that he had such an impact at Fort Meigs. I enjoyed having those pieces of history put together.

One of the best historical sites Ive visited. Very interesting and memorable to see and visit. The outside reconstructed fort is by far the best part. If you dont know much about the War of 1812 or live in the area and are wishing to learn some native history, then I highly recommend stopping by.

An awesome experience for anyone who loves Ohio and or US history. The expansive museum and largest wooden fort in the United States will leave you amazed as to the accomplishments of our forefathers. Nice staff and clean facilities. Make sure you leave time to spend up to 3 hours here.

I was here with friends on a history get away and this is a first rate place to visit!!! If you love War of 1812 history or any military history, this is the place for you!!! Very interesting and well presented displays and all staff were most helpful. Audio visual information was very helpful please start your tour in the visitors center. This will better explain what you will see in the fort. There were also WW2 reenactors present who were very informative. Plan to spend a good chunk of time here as it is so so so interesting!!! Well worth the time and effort to go here. Loved it!!!

Chamber of Commerce did not note that the fort is closed. All internet info says open. It doesnt open until May 5, 2021. I wish that I could give a 5 star. Im sure it deserves it. Met people coming from much further than we did. All disappointed. The bridge is beautiful though.

This carefully reconstructed historical fort is an enriching experience that transports the visitor to the War of 1812. Artifacts, displays and staff craft an accurate depiction of this military installation where William Henry Harrison once commanded.Make sure spend time perusing the visitors center to learn more about the context of Fort Meig in the war and the nation at that time.

I originally spoke with Alice (?) and she explained to me the parameters of visiting. She was very nice. I visited two weeks ago... The fort itself is amazing, and huge. In addition, the reenactors were very well versed in subject manner and could talk for hours on it. Perhaps one of the most impressive historical trips Ive been on.

This is a decent historical site. The visitor center is clean and well laid out. The fort is impressive in size and in good shape. The exhibits are good, but not exceptional. The path inside the fort is not well maintained so Id say it is not stroller friendly unless you have a large-wheeled stroller. It seems the fort hosts many events, and I would suggest only going during one of these, otherwise Im not sure there is quite enough value for the price of admission.

Great place for a date or to take your family...can learn a lot of History about Ohio really neat to...plan on a couple hours lots of neat stuff to learn and see...will return because we ran out of time...very nice time spent with hubby and fur babies are allowed. Nice museum friendly staff. We had the place basically to ourselves it was during the week. They had some work sheets to fill out ...me and hubby learned some awesome history that we didn’t know about Ohio...I learned lots!I want to visit again think it’s cool learning history about stuff we’re you live.

We visited this site about eight years ago and it was beautifully maintained. We were able to go into each building and the hills were mowed. This time, everything was way overgrown and we were only able to go into 3 buildings. Those buildings were full of wasps and not maintained at all. However, we were charged the full price. Very disappointing! We wont go back.

A wonderful Historical site. Definitely a hidden gem. Museum was well put together, and Volunteers were wonderful and so knowledgeable

Enjoyed the museum exhibits and walking around the fort. Very interesting to see how the soldiers lived in the early 1800s.

Great living history Fort giving you a great idea of how the soldiers, militia (& their women folk) lived and died. Youll need about 2 hours.

An important site to the history of Northwest Ohio and a must see for history buffs. Great view of the Maumee fireworks if you are not into history.

Lots of historical background is here for the War of 1812 and would encourage everyone to come and see this Fort and besure to visit the Museum lots of historical artifacts and knowledgeable staff to answer questions.

Cool fort full of history on the War of 1812. They have periodic actors and you can tour the fort buildings.

This place is so much fun they have winter craft days and its cool to explore on a empty day or with all the reenactors

This is a great place for the family. Very educational and Can social distance.

We walked the paths when the museum itself was closed. But youre still able to walk around the grounds. Very peaceful.

Great historic place to visit and love the fireworks on the fourth!

We had a terrible time with the presenter. He attempted to pick a fight said there was no presentation and that he wasnt going to do one. The director was there seen the whole thing and did not have the courage to stand up to him so 10 of us left.

Very interesting place to visit and learn about a part of American history. So much to learn about the frontier.

Cool place to stop and let the kids run for awhile

It’s great place with helpful staff. It will take you to 1813.

Fort Meigs offers a huge open area to explore outside of the actual fort, which is great for kids, dogs, or anyone that needs to stretch their legs. Inside the fort is such a wealth of history and knowledge. If you are in Perrysburg around Halloween-time the garrison ghost walk is the perfect spooky stroll!!

Weather you live in the area or are just visiting, this is a great place to get an understanding of local history. The museum is excellent, with a good selection of artifacts from the fort. The fort host several events with reenactments and demonstrations every year, which is when I recommend visiting. This for was not only important for the local area, but the United States as a whole.

Totally a hidden treasure!

Terrific Adventure Awaits!!The kids will have a ball!Take sunscreen and pack a lunch.Its an all day excursion.

I enjoyed it immensely I will go back again

Such an interesting place that covers a short, but important time in history.

Loved it. Cant wait to go back.

As a history lover, I desire to learn all I can about what events shaped this great nation of ours. I love our country because of our freedoms and countless men and women in this country sacrificed so much for us to have them. It is so important to learn

This is a Northwest Ohio gem! The staff and volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. I just love the reenactments. It really gives the public a sense of realism while honoring the soldiers who fought and died here. Great job, everyone.

We went to see the First Siege 1813 here and had a really good time. The schedule allowed for a good pace to see the muskets, cannons, and riflemen. Our kid really enjoyed the mini-militia as she marched and fired a musket. The event highlight was the battle demonstration - it was highly entertaining and informational. If historical reenactments are something you enjoy then this would be a good event to visit.

Very interesting would recommend!

Been coming here since 2017 for gaming events (World at War,Drums In the Rapids). Staff is excellent with a great gift shopand museum too. Highly recommended to all gamers and historybuffs.

What an amazing way to step back in time. The staff was very educational and receptive to questions. This is something every family should do.

You are greeted by the staff and given a video to watch and then about a 15 to 20 minute brief on the Fort and how it came to be. The staff is great. There needs to be better pathways through the fort and maybe get the grass cut a little lower, it was a little difficult to walk through. But it is a great history lesson. Come check it out.

A nice place to spend an afternoon. The museum contains a lot of information about the war. The fort area is really good for an evening walk.

Have lived in the area my whole life finally got around to visiting this historic place. Nice museum tells of life during the period and what led to the need of the fort. The fort itself is a nice walk and the buildings of the fort have exhibits in them telling what soldiers lived through, during war and peace time. Recommend a good 2 hours or more to see and read about this historical site.

I always enjoy a historical fort more when there is still a structure to walk through. The staff has done a very good job of telling the forts history in both the visitor center and the fort displays. This is another fort that played a significant role in American history. I recommend a visit when in the area.

If you are Interested in history (especially war or Indians)... This is the place.to check.out...it is.the remains of one.of.the forts from the battle of fallen timbers... (I believe)... That took place back in 1794... Just think at one time soldiers actually stood,walked,fought,and did other things there... All the way back in 1794... It is possible that even Indians stood there as Well... Can you imagine standing in the same.place as people did back in 1794...Amazing...stop by and check it out... It is awesome...

It was offseason it was closed but it sure would have been nice to go in it was really amazing on the outside like a real fort in which theyve done a good job with.

There is a very nice visitor center that gives the history and background of the area and the war. Then you can walk around the fort for an even more realistic experience. Beautiful views of the river, too!

Launch point for the best bike path around!

Awesome place to visit worth it

This has developed into an important historical site in our area that everyone here embraces!

Great historic site, very accessible, well kept. Staff is very helpful amd attentive. Visited for the Revolutionary War reenactment - Nice event overall foe the whole family.

Great historic site! Largest fort in the US from the Battle of 1812. Really cool to see how Ohio played a significant role in this Battle to keep America free.

Great historical visit! This coupled with the River Rasin National Battlefield inn Monroe Michigan can give a person a great understanding of the war of 1812 and its importance in this area! While it is not Antietam or Gettysburg, it was no less instrumental in the battles to controls the northwest areas of our fledgling republic.

Fort Meigs is a great place to visit for a history lesson. You get to see what it was like back in the old-old days. Its amazing to see and the kids love it as well. I remember seeing it when I was a child and now my kids get to as well.

Cool historic spot. Large grounds. Not as interactive as I was assuming...but maybe not a special day to do so either? No people in costume and no demonstrations.

Little piece of history. awesome reenactments and cool little museum. in a nice scenic area but not far from any kind of grub you might wanna stop for.

They told me I couldnt sled down the hill. I think it should be bulldozed and turned into a snow Attraction.. who cares about a lame fort

I think its wonderful that we keep our history together for us and the younger generation we have to know our past thats all there is to it!! Way too many things happen again if were not aware of our past history! Many of our freedoms now are being eroded because of our lack of knowledge of History. We have to be careful how much power we give to people that are over us, and I think you know what I mean!

Great historic site. This trip was a bit muddy, due to the uncommon, over saturation of the grounds. The event organizers, did a great job getting everyone out safely.

Neat place to visit. Fort and inner museum help to understand history better.

Our family enjoys the events at Ft. Meigs

A great recreation of the original fort that was dismantled before the war of 1812. Located on the exact same spot as the original, the fort has an amazing view overlooking the Maumee River which made it a strategic location during the war. There is also a quite impressive museum along with the fort.

Visitor center proved a very good historical background and the fort grounds worthwalkung.

Awesome.... You can still walk the grounds while they are closed... Its beautiful

Drive from Cleveland memorial day weekend was great. We went the fort meigs to see the reenactment of the seige of 1813. We had a great time! Everyone was friendly and helpful and educational. Would love to go back anytime!!

Built in 1813 to help defend north western Ohio during the War of 1812. Fort Meigs is located along the south bank of the Maumee River just outside the Historic town of Perrysburg. Just across the river on the north bank are the remnants of the old British Fort Miami. There is plenty to see and do at Ft Meigs. They have a great muesum and lots of displays within the walls of the Fort. If you want the full effect, go while the re-enactment is on. It takes place in May every year. You will definitely enjoy your visit!

The fort is always a good place to learn about the war of 1812. There is also the Monroe river raisin museum in Monroe mi. They have a bit more about the war as a whole not just about that specific one.

This is a hidden gem!! Great museum and fort.

Nice day trip. Id like to come when they are doing reenactments. Nice place to visit if you want to hear some history.

Love the history of Fort Meigs, its a beautiful fort on the Maumee river

Cant wait until fort opens in spring

Awesome place full of history, and knowledgeable people. Always a good time !!

Kids had a good time. I never knew so much history was in northwest Ohio. We had a very knowledgeable guide and would do it again.

Well cared for historical site with friendly volunteer guides.

Excellent place to visit, remember Fort Meigs before the fort was built. The museum has alot to offer as far as historical relics.

Staff was quite friendly and the fort was set up well for a self guided tour.

Best Fort and its in our backyard

Interesting historial site

A must to see if you are in the Toledo metropolitan area. The reconstructed fort from the 1800 played a critical role in defending America during the war of 1812I only had a hour to visit but from what I saw, it was amazing. Enjoyed the displays in all the bunkhouses that were in the fort. And I was surprised to reenactors on a Friday morning who were very friendly and informative.

Love. This. Place. Its very peaceful and has such a good spirit about it.

Rich history about the fort and how they defended their location.

Great historical site along the river.

On my way from California to the East Coast in March, I stopped at Fort Meigs and was impressed in many ways. I hadnt realized the fort was so large, nor the walls built of such large timber (the men must have been MEN at that period). The museum was outstanding in every way, lots of good displays , very well kept up and clean, the docents very pleasant and informative. The reason for my visit was that I had donated a powder-horn (Archibald Everett - Sept 16, 1813 Fort Meigs) and was pleased that it is part of their permanent display. If I ever head that way again I will revisit the site and wish to thank everyone past and present for the reconstruction and maintenance. Fortunately the weather was chilly but dry, couldnt have asked for anything more. Again my thanks. Dick Holt

This is a nice place to walk around. Make sure you wear closed shoes and sunscreen. There was a nice volunteer working on the garden.

This is a great historic landmark....cant wait to visit again!!

Great time listening to ghost stories.

Beautifully maintained. Great history lesson.

Fascinating structure and location. Especially enjoyed the guard tower exhibit about the period infirmary.

Well maintained historical site. A must see whether you live nearby or are just visiting the area.

Top notch for re enactments, excellent lecture series, Muster on the Maumee especially beloved of my kids

Awesome place to visit and fish out in front during the annual walleye run

Attended a British Car Show at the fort, had a wonderful time.

This was the best date night Ive ever had. We went on the ghost walk tour thing and it was super fun! We still talk about it to this day. Definitely a highlight of the year!

My 14 year old grandson LOVED our visit!!

If you like history and want to learn more about the War of 1812, Ft. Meigs is a must visit. One of the largest forts built during the war, it stands on approximately 10 acres of land. There is also museum documenting that time period in American history along with store selling merchandise pertaining to that era.

Love the site, just wish it wasnt so expensive to enter.

Come out and relive the war of 1812... One of Northwest Ohio greatest historical sites that is a must see!!!

Was a cool small stop on our way home from our honeymoon. Came with no real expectations but found a fun museum/outdoor exhibit. There is an initial museum, this will be your bigger exposure to authentic items from the battlefield and period, following the indoor museum is an outdoor field consisting of a track to each blockhouse fortification a couple of which are accessible to the public and a few of which are not. I throughly enjoy the way museums like this make history come alive for both children and adults by making a very large portion of grounds accessible from close up by patrons but wished there was a live person at some point explaining some of the lore and history.

Great knowledgeable staff about the war and events of that time.

Awesome view of the fireworks. Great show.

Great tour put the War of 1812 and the sacrifices of our service members back then into perspective.

Cool historic site. Great for sledding when we have enough snow for it.

Really nice visit. Talked extensively with the for quartermaster in his 1813 Ohio militia uniform. I learned a lot
