During the Battle of Johnsonville, artillery fire was certainly the main spectacle. We will stroll along the Lakefront and Lower Redoubt while discussing where cannons once sent shells falling along the land. One historic account compared the cannonading as more impressive than even that of Vicksburg.
Join Ranger Noah for a healthy stroll at Johnsonville, while you learn the stories of the Battle of Johnsonville, told from the letters and reports of the Soldier's themselves.
This hike will cover a distance of just over 1.5 miles, covering moderate terrain with two signifcant inclines of over 40 feet over a distances of approx. 500 feet.
Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather , as well as closed toe shoes. Please bring a water bottle with you as well.
