Take in the lake view from the historic high ground within Ft. Heiman National Battlefield. This is the only in-dwelling within the park, bordered by public land on all sides. See Civil War earthworks on the property! Enjoy the surrounding 300 acres of public lands with a walk to the lakefront and National Park trails. Perfect for history buffs and nature lovers.
If true solitude is what you are after this is the place for you! There are very few true in-dwellings left within National Parks and this is your chance to enjoy one. From the cabin you will be able to enjoy a commanding viewpoint that is what drew military strategists to place the fort there in the first place.
In the front yard are the breastworks built during the civil war and behind the cabin are more remnants of breastworks that were destroyed by the Union before they left in 1864. It was from this spot that the most destructive raid of the Civil War was launched after Confederate forces re-occupied the fort after the Union abandoned it.
