Fort Mose Historic State Park in St. Augustine, Florida, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in American history. This park is the site of the first legally sanctioned free African settlement in what is now the United States. Established in 1738, the settlement provided a refuge for escaped slaves from the nearby British colonies. The fort that once stood on this land offered military protection for the colonists and even helped defend against British attacks during the War of Jenkins’ Ear. Today, visitors can explore the park’s exhibits, including reconstructed buildings and interactive displays, to learn about the people who once called Fort Mose home. A true hidden gem in Florida, Fort Mose Historic State Park is an important piece of our nation’s history.
