Fort Frederica National Monument - St Simons Island (GA)

5 /5 Sophia Partin: This is a National Park, don’t forget your stamp book if you’re collecting them. This park has quite the history. This is an old English fort used to fight against the Spanish in the 1700s. The museum has artifacts that have found in the area. They have old tavern games and children toys. It’s interesting to see what life was like only 300 years ago. They have a replica hut that British soldiers lived in. They have plaques along the town streets at most of the homes telling their history. It is worth the read to understand about life in that time. There isn’t much remaining from that period but there are still a few sections standing of the fort. This is a great park for history lovers. I recommend a visit!

5 /5 Caitlin Carter: Free entry, lots of parking, and absolutely beautiful grounds to walk while learning the history of the area. It also has one of the best junior ranger books in terms of telling a story and getting kids involved in the experience of what happened there. The visitor center had a “tavern” where you can see recovered artifacts, play colonial tavern games, and kids can dress up in colonial outfits. While visiting, we also got to see an area that was currently being excavated.

4 /5 Tavish Pattanayak: Its a cool place to learn the history of the place and Georgia in general! The volunteers are very friendly and warm. They also play a movie in the visitor center.
