The guard at the gate scoffed at our request to get the key to open the door into the blockhouse to see the Mad Anthony Wayne exhibits, and seemed surprised that we asked. There's a military cemetery nearby with an unknown soldier monument and graves dating back to the Civil War. We walked around the outside of the blockhouse and paid our respects at the cemetery before leaving.
