    Great historic place! House is beautiful, the trail that goes along the river offers a shade on a hot day. The small parks good for littler kids.

    Beautiful historic area. Great guided tour of the Mansion, $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and children, and $4 for students. My only complaint is that you can not go inside any of the other buildings.

    Love Ft. Hunter! I take my girls here to the play ground all the time. WE go for walks and look at the river. My husband even plays pick-up soccer games here. Feels safe.
