fort davidson state historic site印象

The site has been upgraded to a park-like area with tables and benches and signs to explain what happened there. If you like Missouri history, this will be worthwhile to visit while you're in the area.

Normal site with signs describing the fight. Clean and maintained. Didn't get to tour museum due to after 4:00 pm.

We stopped in to see the museum and fort. The museum was small. I strongly recommend watching the diorama light show to get an idea of how the historic battle took place. It helped us get a better understanding once we were outside looking at the actual earthworks of the fort. The museum was having technical difficulties with the video, but they were able to get it working. Some members of our party watched it, but found it a little long.

This attraction is free and very well done. A movie is shown that is excellent and the exhibit is also very good. The gentleman that was there is chatty and knowledgeable. The entire site needs an hour.

We were in the area and stopped to see what this historic site had to offer. It was a good stop. Very interesting information and a good video to talk about the battle here.

Alot to see at the Museum on site, with old artifacts of the civil war, and with thing's to see on the ground's.

Great little day trip for Missourians. The little museum was neat with lots of cool history and artifacts. Mom, Dad, and all the kids even put down the smart phones and learned something new about Missouri's history.

We've been wanting to come here for months now as we are trying to go to all the sites from Sterling Price's 1864 Missouri Raid. We should have started here but since we live in Springfield, MO, we started close by home.This visitor center had great displays. We especially enjoyed the diorama which helped explain the battle. We also enjoyed the movie about the battle. The rangers there were very helpful sharing information about exhibits and events. Pilot Knob just had a 150th battle reenactment. We've been studying about Sterling Price's raid and it was great finally being at Pilot Knob. Well worth the time and it was a beautiful drive to get there.

Neat little museum inside depicting the battle that occurred here. Isnt a real fancy battlefield by any means. Just the fort remains and a few signs posted showing what the area looked like in the 1860s. Still kinda cool to stand in side the earthen fort and look around and wonder what it was like to be in the soldiers place

In the heart of the St. Francois Mountains. Orchestrated by the Missouri Dept. of Natural Resources. The battlefield site includes a visitor center and the remains of the old Fort Davidson (with moat and magazine crater still intact). The visitor center museum displays excellent exhibits and collections of artifacts (including weaponry from the era, as well as some items which were actually dug up from the site). The staff there is very helpful and knowledgeable with the history of the battle, and the significance it played in the later stages of the Civil War. A battle reenactment is performed annually during the later part of September, including a guided hike up the adjacent Iron Mountain (done in cooperation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which maintains the mountain). Other attractions close by include Elephant Rocks, Johnson Shut-Ins, and Tom Sauk Mountain State Parks. All a one day deal.
