It is always a pleasure for me to walk around the ruins at the old Spanish fort in St. Marks, Florida. Yesterday, a beautiful day on September 12, 2019, a Tallahassee Senior Center group accompanied me. I talked about this short river. They sat and looked out over what was a turbulent and active period around 1800. The location is part of the Florida Park Service and it should be a must visit for anyone wanting to grasp Florida’s history between the 16h and 19th century. Fuerte San Marcos de Apalache — almost forgotten, but the park services specialist is Bonnie Allen who brings lots of artifacts to the museum. Worth a visit!

I am European and studied American history at FSU. I live near the Wakulla River and the changes along that river after the American Revolution are intriguing. The saga leads to betrayals. I enjoy the river, the Wakulla Springs State Park, and growing medicinal herbs for my own future. View all posts by MHCarr
