In December of every even numbered year there is a really nice reenactment. Otherwise has a decent playground. Lots of shade and a good walking/running path with a good number of elevation changes. Many different events happen here all year round.

This is a beautiful well-maintained park. All the historical markers and buildings are in excellent shape and there is a brand new pavilion available for events. The Latta Barn is an very nice space for parties and events that require kitchen space. The 1-mile walking trail is gorgeous and allows you to hit several of the historical markers at the park.

When you have a history buff for a S.O., you go to places like this. It was very interesting and informative. Nice, pretty walk around the grounds.
