3. Visit Fort Casey Historical State Park

Fort Casey Historical State Park, built in the late 1800s, was used as a military training facility up until the mid-1940s. The highlights for my son are the abandoned bunkers and mounted guns, but there’s plenty more to do at this sprawling park with hiking trails, camping facilities, beautiful views, a turn-of-the-century lighthouse and more!

Local tip: While lights have been added to some bunkers, there are still very dark spaces to explore, so bring your headlamp or flashlight!
