#38 Fort Frederica NM

Fort Frederica National Monument is located on St. Simons Island on the South Georgia coast. It was built by James Ogelthorpe between 1736 and 1748. It's purpose was to protect the British settlement of Georgia from the Spanish, who had settled just to the south in Florida. There were two failed attemps by the Spanish to take the fort in 1742. I visited this site in January of 2004, with my friend Keath, while on our way to Florida to visit my parents.
