Fort Fredrica National Monument

In the early 18th century, the land lying between British South Carolina and Spanish Florida was known as the debatable land. This land (today's Georgia) was the epicenter of a centuries-old imperial conflict between Spain and Britain. Fort Frederica was established in 1736 by James Oglethorpe to protect the southern boundary of his new colony of Georgia from the Spanish in Florida. Colonists from England, Scotland, and the Germanic states came to Georgia to support this endeavor.

Today, visitors can partake in some of the activities at Fort Frederica including, a 23 minute park film "History Uncovered," explorations through the archeological site, and a museum area with artifacts found at Frederica.
