They carved a new life out of the rugged terrain, struggling against the elements and many other hardships to build Fort Nashborough. A replica, one-fourth the size of the original fort, now stands in Riverfront Park and is open for... more

Being a history buff, I like Fort Nashborough, but there is really not much to see there. A few old restored buildings and a statue. If you have a short attention span, though, the good news is that it only takes about 10 minutes to see the whole thing!

Pros

+ Historical, View of the river, Free

Cons

- Small

The buildings had a terrible odor and it was so dim inside the cabins that you couldn't read the plaques on the inside. There... more
