Back to the Fuerte San Marcos de Apalache

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!
