Deer Safety

Fall Safety Announcement

Over 50% of the deer-vehicle collisions within the park occur between October and December. Please be vigilant during this time about vehicle speed and paying extra attention to your environment while driving - for your own safety and other visitors. Acorns are falling onto our roadways and the deer are also starting their mating season.

Be safe while enjoying the park.

Did You Know?
None of the original soldier huts remain. The huts that you see in the park today are reproductions based on the model that General Washington wanted the soldiers to follow. Despite a lack of tools and the relative haste in which they were built, most served as decent shelters for the troops.
