A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Paul Crawford

Welcome to Fort Mose Historic State Park!  Spring has offered us wonderful insights into our local bird population, including the Great Horned Owl, cardinals and Herons.  Come and see them for yourself or another animal visitor while you picnic near the marsh, go on a guided bird walk or learn about the history of Fort Mose in our state-of-the-art museum.

This month we have our historic garden growing, ranger-led tours every Saturday at 11am and 1pm, a guided bird walk and our Last Saturday Living History event will feature battle practice as we prepare for the only side vs. side battle reenactment in St. Augustine - the Battle of Bloody Mose!  

Please call Tonya Creamer at (904) 823-2232 for more information about any of the above-listed programs, to schedule a tour or to inquire about our annual Battle of Bloody Mose on June 22nd.
