Fort Frederica National Monument, British colonial fort on St. Simons Island, Georgia, US.
Fort Frederica National Monument contains archaeological remains of a fortified town with stone walls, military barracks, and colonial-era structures from the 1730s.
James Oglethorpe established Fort Frederica in 1736 to defend the southern British colonies from Spanish forces based in Florida during territorial conflicts.
Archaeological excavations at Fort Frederica reveal detailed information about daily life patterns of 1,000 colonial residents through recovered artifacts and building foundations.
The National Monument provides guided tours, educational programs, and junior ranger activities for visitors to learn about 18th-century colonial military installations.
The Battle of Bloody Marsh in 1742 near Fort Frederica determined British control of Georgia when troops successfully repelled Spanish forces.
