Entrance
The blue-and-white square with the number 12 is the indication to start
walking a path leading to Confederate Redoubt #12. This trail entrance can
be easily missed. The visitor should go to the first base line of the
softball field and look for the small opening in the foliage. After a
short walk, the first interpretive sign will appear |

Enlarge Redoubt #12 Remains
The area around the redoubt, including the redoubt itself is left almost
undisturbed. There is a short path around a portion of the redoubt but
entrance to the redoubt is off-limits. The viewer may notice a tree which
had fallen, but this is not a path which should be used to enter the
redoubt itself |
