A reconstructed 18th-century frontier fort on the Kentucky River where Daniel Boone and his men arrived in 1775, with resident artisans demonstrating pioneer crafts, the Kentucky River Museum, and riverside trails.

💡 The fort itself is seasonal (April–October daily 9 AM–5:30 PM; limited winter hours November–March). The Kentucky River Museum is part of the same visit. Arrive early on fall game weekends — the park draws families. Campground is closed through end of 2026 due to flooding, but day-visitor access is unaffected.

💡 Open April–October, Wednesday–Saturday 10 AM–4 PM, Sunday 12–4 PM; closed Monday–Tuesday and November–March (limited December holiday events excepted). Self-guided tours run through 3 PM; guided tours depart at 3:30 PM and offer the most historical context.

A free, walkable Civil War site commemorating the August 1862 Battle of Richmond — one of the Confederacy's most decisive victories — with interpretive trail markers, the Texas Monument overlooking Churchill's Draw, and the 1811 Rogers House visitor center on preserved ground.

💡 Park grounds open daily 6 AM–8 PM year-round at no charge. Visitor center (Rogers House, c. 1811) operates Monday–Friday 10 AM–4 PM; confirm Saturday/Sunday hours seasonally as they are limited.
