Fort Clinch

Last week I took a group to Ft Clinch, a civil war era fort located in Fernandina Beach, which is the north end of Amelia Island. This is a great place to learn about history and nature, as it is also one of the first State Parks in Florida.
The first weekend of every month are Garrison days at the fort. Historical interpreters dress in replica clothing, and can be seen around the fort doing their various duties the way they would have been done back in the 1860s. Join us on Saturday, December 5 for a special holiday garrison trip to Fort Clinch. We also explore the historic lighthouse and the resident critters and plants. Call the nature center at 904-321-5082 for more info.

  1. Fort Clinch looks like a cool place...kind of reminds me of Enter The Dragon. I'd like to be around when they fire those cannons. People on the beach probably wouldn't go for that.
