You pull out of the Heritage Center lot and the road opens onto acres of low, rolling ridges — fields once cut by musket lines and artillery smoke. The narrator’s voice begins in your speakers, the map pings, and the landscape unfurls: stone walls, scattered monuments, and the volcanic outcrop at Devil’s Den that still looks like it could hide a sharpshooter.
