Fort Mose - One of 6 places in St. Augustine listed as a National Historic Landmark you should visit while staying at The Sand Bucket at Seaside.
Click on "About Fort Mose" to read the story.
Established in 1738 by Colonial Spanish Florida's Governor Manuel Montiano, Fort Mose gave sanctuary to Africans challenging enslavement in the English Colony of Carolina. Approximately 100 Africans lived at Fort Mose, forming more than 20 households. Together they created a frontier community which drew on a range of African backgrounds blended with Spanish, Native American and English cultural traditions.
