The museum is accessible, but there are upstairs areas that are not. The grounds are well kept and offer wide walkways. Parking right outside."

If you like history, make sure you plan on going to see the Christmas guns and their wreath placing ceremony. It was fantastic to watch a real old canon being fired as well as the pistols that were fired in between. While the museum itself is very small, it was a fascinating visit. I definitely suggest going if you have an inkling for history. While it is "kid-friendly", my 9 year old child was most amused with running around in circles outside with his friend. Again, worth the drive and conversation with Deb, a historian extraordinaire, was the absolute best!"

But, there is still a decent amount to see even if you don't pay to go inside the museum. I also recommend driving up the hill to the cemetery. There's definitely some good history here."

Would be a great place for fairs, concerts , historical reenactments, harvest fest, farmers markets , as well as a place to remember and learn about the history of the area. I would love to see Fort Reno stay preserved and get the recognition it deserves."
