Did You Know?

The park is rich in earthworks from the Civil War. To help preserve them we ask that people not climb or play on them.

Nearly twenty buildings, including dwellings, churches and mills existed within the present battlefield boundary in 1864.  Only the Kolb house, which has been rehabilitated to represent its historic exterior appearance, survives.
