"Good place to kill time while waiting for the Liberty Island Ferry"
I am a National Park freak but I found this spot to be a little ho hum. It is an old fort and the history in the tiny museum is interesting but there isn't much else to it. I am glad its protected but I am not certain it deserves National Park status. If you are in the area, pay it a quick visit, but certainly don't make a special trip just to see it. You will be pretty dissapointed.
