Tony and I stopped by Fort Frederick State Park in Big Pool, MD. We got there at 4pm and the visitors center was already closing.
It cost $5 for our vehicle for park entrance fees. We couldn't watch the 10 minute video because they were closing due to no activity.
We drove over to the parking lot for the actual fort. The Fort was still open but unmanned so the interior buildings were locked.
The Fort was built in 1756 for the Indian wars against the white settlement. It was later used in Revolutionary war and Civil War. It's almost 300 yrs old
It's a stone fort with very thick high walls.
Definitely a nice park. There is a store but it was closed too. There is a campground down along the Potomac River.
Definitely recommend you visit when in the area. I would go back again! A great price!!!
