Fort Mitchell represents three periods of interaction with Native Americans. The first period is the martial aspect of Manifest Destiny, when the Creek Indian Nation was defeated and forced to concede land; the second represents the Indian Factory and the fort's status as a trading post; the last concerns U.S. government attempts to honor treaty obligations.

Now open to the public as a museum, the site contains a reconstruction of the original fort stockade that played a part in the Creek War of 1836. The site, which is of archeological interest, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) where it is also designated a National Historic Landmark.
