I went with my aunt and uncle, who is a Vietnam Veteran. There is a 20-minute video I highly recommend watching before touring the battlefield and remnants of the fort. There are artifacts in the museum with explanations. It's definitely worth the trip and several great restaurants to enjoy lunch. It is located about a mile from the Arcadia Academy, which offers free tours and phenomenal food.

This was my second time visiting. I liked it so much the first time, I came back. Well preserved, Informative staff, nice artifacts. They tell the story well of the battle and the importance of the location of Ft. Davidson and its importance to the war effort.

The museum was very well done for a small museum, but the outside exhibit was fascinating because you could still see the old earth in trenches, and they laid out the story so well even the kids thought it was cool! There was a local playground, kids could also play at if they were bored with the history portion.

Very cool place. The visitors center wasn't open when we went but there are still signs posted which will walk you through the history of the site

Interesting place for history buffs. On September 27, a reconstruction of historical events is being carried out.

An excellent little museum with a well-versed staff. The pieces may be few, but they're definitely worth a look, especially the diorama! Also the gift shop has a lot of decent books. The bathrooms are always in great order.

I have passed by several times, but never stopped. Finally did and was surprised by the size of the battle and cool seeing how small the fort was and hole that still exists from the powder magazine blowing upVisited the museum, will nice film over viewing the background of the area and the battle. Staff was very helpful, so definitely stop in if passing by and you have an interest in the Civil War

Neat historical place to visit, but even more fun during a reenactment!

Great little stop. The staff was not very helpful. We kinda wandered around. Finally asked about where we should walk outside. Took the gentleman a long time to find a paper with information on it. Would have loved if they had done a tour but I understand funds and staff are limited. Loved the history here and the artifacts.

Just a tiny museum on a beautiful piece of historic land where the Battle of Pilot Knob took place! Lots of information and cool things to look at from the history of that battle and the area!

Really enjoyed seeing the reenactment and the people dressed in period clothing. Very educational for the youth and old alike.

My father restored this cannon and donated it to the Missouri Historical Society a few years before he died. It was important to him to share this monumental piece of history

The drive to the site is easy and quite beautiful. The site is well documented and has a great museum with many relics from the area and an extremely knowledgeable staff. Visit this little known but important part of US History.
