Fort Donelson National Battlefield preserves Fort Donelson and Fort Heiman, two sites of the
American Civil War Forts Henry and Donelson Campaign, in which
Union General
Ulysses S. Grant and Admiral
Andrew Hull Foote captured three forts, opened two rivers, and received national recognition for victories in February 1862, the first major Union victories of the war. The main unit of the park, in
Dover, Tennessee, commemorates the
Battle of Fort Donelson. Fort Heiman in nearby
Calloway County, Kentucky, was a Confederate battery in the
Battle of Fort Henry.
