Dover, Tennessee War Memorials

"We had a great time at the Fort. Very impressive to see an earthen fort at such as scale still in relatively good condition, though some restoration work has been done to preserve the mounds from eroding. The museum was closed for remodeling, and a stand in double wide was used for the park museum showing some artifacts, though not many. Many of the information plaques were in very rough condition with many of them being barely readable. I did see some negative reviews related to some of the areas not being handicap accessible. To be fair, they are not wrong, however the fort is still mostly original or near original and handicap accessibility was not much of thought for construction back in 1862. The Dover hotel part of the park was handicap accessible. There are also many hiking/running trails available. There were also a couple negative comments related to there not being any major battle there so the historical significance isn't that great. I would say that is mostly ignorance of people considering Grant earned his nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant there as well as this opening up the south for further attack onto Nashville, crippling the South. Those moments were very important to the Union, who had not been able to have any major victories to that point. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. It was a beautiful day and the park staff were very friendly."
