Metropolis is also home to Fort Massac State Park, the first state park in Illinois. At Fort Massac, you will not only enjoy the breath taking views of the Ohio River and majestic nature of the Shawnee National Forrest, but you may take a walk back in time by visiting the 1802 replica of the Fort that once served to protect French, British and American troops.
