I saw this park on one of the signs highlighting attractions at a particular exit on I-65. Being a…read morefan of history, I clicked my blinker and followed some rural roads to this particular location. Let me start by saying this place is not big, neither the grounds or the museum. But it is done nicely. Upon these grounds sat the only "old soldier's home" for Confederate soldiers and their widows in Alabama. Yhe tour in the museum is self guided, so you walk through yourself and see weapons, uniforms, etc. of a time in American history when brother raised arms against brother. There are also two Confederate graveyards by the property. A final thought. One part I found that personalized some of the men who resided in the "old soldiers home" was pictures of them as young soldiers accompanied by pictures of them as elderly men. Two different stages in the lives of these men.

As I was traveling we saw signs for this and decided it would be a fun place to stop. There are…read moreplenty of signs guiding you in and it's easy to get back to the Highway without back tracking. The grounds were beautiful as well as peaceful. We didn't explore much but the museum was well done. It cost $7 for the two of us. Not bad and totally worth it. There is also a small gift shop area as you walk in the lobby and into the museum. I enjoyed looking at the different displays. Learning America's history is easy to do with places like this to help make it come alive. The cemetery reminds me of a very tiny Arlington. Well cared for and the headstones respected. Like I already mentioned the grounds are beautiful. Important info and Tip: sign states open sunrise to sunset. Museum takes card for payment. (Not all do ‍). Restrooms located outside museum around porch past main entrance.

The bamboo is thicker than you can get a hand around, sometimes needing two and must be 30' in the air. The main path is fairly small with a straight back path and loop around a bog, however there are multiple paths off to the sides that allow you to 'get lost' in the foliage and peace. It's obvious that local families come often with kids and dogs as the kids know all the secret entrances and spots to get down ravines if you find your inner adventurer. 20-30 minutes is about all you can do without stopping to sit or observe, but it was well worth to jaunt off the highway to see if you are driving through.

It would have been helpful if he had told me on the phone not to bother coming if we were going to be there 30 minutes after dark instead of saying "try to be here before dark".

Luckily, we paid, and were then calling the phone number to get the code, when someone who was camping pulled up behind us and put the code in for us. The small road bridge leading from the main land to the island was a little scary for me. Good thing there wasn't a car coming the other way, or I would have freaked out even more. This land is wonderful. I could see the appeal to kayak, fish, or have a picnic here, or even camp here. We stopped at the bathrooms first, and they are clean and provide running water. On our drive to the town of Spectre, we ran into the goats. We were driving down the road and all of the goats were coming at us. We put the car in park and enjoyed the goats. One goat even jumped up on my door to say hello. They are fabulous and very friendly. When we exited the vehicle at the Spectre movie set, a super friendly goat was charging at me, I immediately went into the car and the goat approached my boyfriend. All the goat wanted was some pets. And that's what he got. They are like large dogs. There are swing benches around the lake and it is nice to sit and enjoy the scenery. Watch out for goat poop. That is the only bad thing. The goats keep the island well manicured and provide the best entertainment and are adorable.
