Threat of rain today so we stayed local. Checked out the museum here and walked around the fort. The area originally inhabited by Guale (wall-ee) native Americans. 1526 first Spanish explorers arrived. 1570 Spanish Franciscans began building mission churches. Within a few decades European diseases, slavery and pirate attacks diminished the tribe and those remaining retreated to St.Catherins island. The fort was originally part of a rice plantation and was built to protect the Obercher River, railroad bridge and surrounding rice plantations. Furnace was used to heat cannon balls to red hot so they would burn wooden vessels. Shermans March ended here in Dec.1864.

Just love the Spanish moss. Lunch at a cute little place on the water.
