Fort Defiance Civil War Park & Interpretive Center

This is a great place to go, learn some, see some walk and explore some. You can't go wrong here. Don't go expecting to see the "Fort" it's the foot print BUT the earth works are there. To know your walking where they did, to see the interpretive center/museum is great. They have many things to see and educate yourself and little ones on. The gift shop is very reasonable with prices. There were even a few picnic tables plenty of benches to stop and rest on if needed when walking the well paved path. I myself and my 15 yr old Granddaughter enjoyed our afternoon there, we spoke, laughed and had a great time being in nature and talking of who was here 161 years ago what it might have been like. We paid our respects to the USCTs and thought about how hard it was for them to even make it there to enlist. This is a great little gem of history in the town of Clarksville.

Great place to take a stroll in the trees! Walking trail is wide and well paved with switch backs down the slope. Wonderful place for a picnic and to walk the dogs.

Fantastic staff, cute little exhibit, small gift shop, and short paved walking trail with signs. We saw a few birds, and I love that most of the types of trees are labeled.
