Located in a little town called Metropolis is Fort Massac State Park. Rich in history, the Illinois park also offers visitors miles of trails, nature walks, camping and more, all for free.

Best of all, it is within a two-three hour drive of several major cities, including St. Louis, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee. This makes it a great low-budget trip for families living or vacationing in the midwest U.S.

A Slice of American History

The centerpiece of the park is a historic replica of the original 1802 American fort, complete with 2 barracks, 3 block houses, officer quarters, well, and stockade surrounded by a fraise fence. This sits on the site of another fort, built in 1756 by the French.
