Explore Fort Frederica National Monument

Georgia's fate was decided in 1742 when Spanish and British forces clashed on St. Simons Island. Fort Frederica's troops defeated the Spanish, ensuring Georgia's future as a British colony. Today, the archeological remnants of Frederica are protected by the National Park Service.

History buffs will enjoy. There isn't much left of the fort or the town, but the foundations have been recovered and well reserched with signs. Good film and exhibits in the little museum. Probably not a kid place, but if you want to know how the British intended to fend off the potentially invading Spanish and a bit about life in the the late 1700's, you will enjoy. Allow 2 hrs.
