- Columbus - Belmont State Park - 350 Park Rd., Columbus - 270-677-2327
- A visit to Columbus-Belmont, high above the Mississippi River, recalls the November 7,1861 Battle of Belmont and the fight
to control this important waterway. Heavily fortified, Rebel General Leonidas Polk called Columbus the
"Gibraltar of the West." But a Union General destined for the White House, Ulysses S. Grant, outflanked the "Gibraltar" and forced
its evacuation. Today, you can still see the massive chain and anchor used by the South to block passage of the Union gunboats, and the
earthen trenches dug to protect 19,000 Confederate troops. The small building that served as the Civil War hospital now
houses Indian artifacts and Civil War relics. The Park features a spacious campground and Activity Center. Columbus-Belmont is 36 miles southwest of Paducah on KY 80
