Fort Toulouse, French colonial fort in Wetumpka, United States.
Fort Toulouse stands at the meeting point of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, featuring a reconstructed 1751 structure with defensive walls and guard posts.
The French military constructed Fort Toulouse in 1717 to control trade routes, maintaining their presence until the British took control following the 1763 Treaty of Paris.
The fort grounds include reconstructed Creek Indian houses and a 1,000-year-old Native American mound, representing different periods of regional settlement.
Visitors can access the site for $2 per adult and $1 for children between 6 and 18 years old, with guided tours available for an additional fee.
The William Bartram Nature Trail winds through the fort grounds, allowing visitors to observe local plants and wildlife along the riverside path.
