Fort Clinch State Park, Civil War fortress in Nassau County, Florida
Fort Clinch State Park spans 1,400 acres, containing maritime forests, sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, and a 19th-century military fortification.
Built between 1847 and 1869, Fort Clinch served as a Union military post during the Civil War, monitoring maritime traffic along the Florida coast.
The first weekend of each month features military demonstrations where participants wear period uniforms and demonstrate nineteenth-century soldier activities.
The park remains open daily from 8 AM until sunset, with a ranger station operating from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM and an entrance fee of $6.
The fortress architecture incorporates National Park Service rustic style elements, integrating natural materials from the surrounding Florida landscape into its construction.
