300th Anniversary of Colonial Fort King George
This year marks the tricentennial of a turning point in North American colonial history. Three centuries ago, British soldiers established their first fort on land that was to become the colony of Georgia. Called Fort King George, it protected a low bluff on the mighty Altamaha River from French and Spanish explorers. Today, the site is open for tours where visitors can explore reconstructed buildings including barracks, a guard house, tavern, moat and palisades. Guests are welcome to climb ladders inside the blockhouse, lay on soldiers' bunks, peek out musket holes and even ring the dinner bell. Join historians throughout the year during their speaker series.
