Went to Fort Pillow for Memorial day weekend, ended up observing an authentic cannon firing and musket demonstration, then went on a guided 2.5 mile hike to the fort and back. Jordan, the trail interpreter did a great job of mixing nature and history to provide a very well rounded experience. Fun day trip, not to far from Memphis.
My husband did a trail run at the park. While he was running, I toured the museum. It was very interesting reading about the history of the area, especially the history of the black soldiers.
Excellent service, park was very clean and well kept up. Park staff was very helpful. The cannon demonstration was amazing and very informative.
I love the exhibits here at Fort Pillow State Park, the covered wagon is a bonus.
