Beautiful, well organized, and maintained place. I almost stepped on a gopher tortois, so watch your steps on sandy trails if you first time there. Mosquitoes and no-see-ums are pretty bad by the water. Be aware of that, too, please.

I visited park on early Sunday summer morning. So there were just a few people doing yoga and walking with dogs. Judging on trash and empty Hennessey bottles this place was super busy a night before. I liked their sculptures. Very liked their flowerbeds with different kinds of fragrant herbs. They have interesting water features.

This is a small beautiful historical building just across the street of tremendous WWII museum. But it has some kind of unbelievable concentration of real historical artifacts. They are not just depersonalized display items. Every single one of them has true stories behind. It tells you who this thing belonged to, who that person was and what he did. I wish they sell copies some of their showpieces like chest, corkscrew, etc. in their gift shop.

Very interesting place. I wish they were open through the regular business hours. Although the view around is beautiful any time of the day the interior looks pretty abandoned. Their Rodman style colubiads look gorgeous. It would be great if they both had gun carriages. If you get accidentally inside the fort be aware of raccoon feces dropped all over the floor of every level and stair cases.
