Friendship Hill National Historic Site contains more than ten miles of hiking trails, including a loop trail system that offers a glimpse of the area as it was when Albert Gallatin first settled there in the 1780s. Wildlife at Friendship Hill includes fox, squirrels, wild turkey, white-tailed deer, pileated woodpeckers, and red-tailed hawks, while wildflowers, mountain laurel, and a variety of pines and hardwoods add to the park's beauty. Along the trails are reminders of the past, including the graves of Albert Gallatin's first wife, Sophia, and Gallatin's friend and former business partner Thomas Clare, as well as old roads and building foundations left by Gallatin and other enterprising individuals who passed through this land long ago.
