William Tecumseh Sherman was concerned with the Confederate positions in Bowling Green and Columbus, and sent the 37th Indiana and the 9th Michigan regiments to West Point.

You could catch a bus in the town of West Point and ride it to the top of the steep hill where there are wooden facilities and an information station showing a map of the fort and the different paths to take.

The full tour of the fort included wooden walkways to the top where you could see small cabins built and tents where reenactors would do demonstrations.

This trail took you back to the beginning of the wooden pathway and start of the walking tour by the information station and outhouses.

There is also a Civil War cemetery on the west side of Fort Hill that has been updated with new grave markers and cleared out for visitors to experience.
