Review & FAQ:

Fort Hartsuff State Historical Park is a state park and recreation area that preserves an excellent example of a late 19th century U.S. Army cavalry outpost, which was active from 1874 to 1881. Located six miles southeast of Burwell, the park was named in honor of George Lucas Hartsuff and features original structures such as the fort’s headquarters and hospital, enlisted men’s barracks, officers’ quarters, and commanding officer’s quarters. Visitors to the fort can take a step back in time and experience what life was like for soldiers and officers in the late 1800s.
