Fort King George State Historic Site provides a peaceful and scenic experience, allowing visitors to travel back in time to learn about the origins of modern conveniences. The fort is particularly interesting, and the views of the river are lovely. It is a great spot for school groups, with knowledgeable tour guides leading informative and engaging tours. The site features historic gravesites outside, a recreated fort, and numerous historical items in the museum, making it a wonderful place for families to explore. Although it closes at 5pm, it remains an excellent spot to learn and enjoy a glimpse into the past. Visitors recommend going when the ground is dry, as paths can become muddy after rain. The exhibits are well explained and well maintained, ensuring a pleasant experience. The employees are helpful, and there are public bathrooms and vending machines available. An admission fee is required to see all that the site offers, but many find it worth the price after experiencing the exhibits and the natural beauty of the area. It is advised to bring bug spray and a water bottle for comfort during the visit.
