Do you want an in-depth tour of the 1862 battle of Fort Donelson? If so, then join a Fort Donelson National Battlefield Park Ranger on a caravan tour of the battlefield! The tour will cover the goal behind capturing Fort Donelson, the movement from Fort Henry to Fort Donelson, the fighting that took place on February 13, 14, and 15, 1862, and the surrender of Confederate forces on February 16, 1862. Please be aware that the tour will last about 3 hours.
The tour will involve driving to various sites on park property and include light walking either on pavement or on a few areas with uneven ground.
