Fort Morris, Colonial fortification in Liberty County, Georgia, US.

Fort Morris is an earthwork fortification in Liberty County, Georgia, built on a bend of the Medway River. The site retains its original ramparts, bastions, and gun emplacements, giving a clear picture of how the defensive layout was organized.

The fortification was built at the start of the American Revolutionary War to control access along the Medway River. British forces captured it in 1779 after a siege, but held it for only a few months before withdrawing.

The name Sunbury survives only in the fort's setting: the town laid out on Captain Mark Carr's land was burned in 1779 and never rebuilt. Visitors can trace the 1756 square fort, 100 yards on each side, and the eight-gun battery noted by Governor Henry Ellis.

Visitors can walk along the earthen walls and get close to the gun positions throughout the grounds. After rain the surface of the ramparts can become slippery, so sturdy footwear is a good idea.

On November 25, 1778, Colonel John McIntosh commanded 200 Americans at Fort Morris. When British soldiers demanded the fort's surrender, McIntosh replied, "Come and take it!" The British declined to attack and pulled back, returning in January with a larger force.
