Fort Frederica National Monument preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort and town built by James Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary of the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids.

Learn about the history of General Oglethorpe and his mission to protect Saint Simons from the Spanish. Beautiful sites and scenery. Foundation ruins viewable only. No actual fort.

Learn the history of the island through the museum and one of the free tours, enjoy walking the grounds with the centuries old moss covered oaks, and enjoy the view of the Frederica River. There are often family friendly special events at the fort too!
